Ayrshire Energy Masterplan
What is the Ayrshire Energy Masterplan?
The AEM covers the geographic area covered by the three Ayrshire Councils; East, North, and South Ayrshire Councils and incorporates a number of targets and strategies being implemented across the region. This document sets out the strategic energy vision for Ayrshire.
The AEM is a Clean Growth Workstream project funded through the Ayrshire Growth Deal in support of the Regional Economic Strategy. More information about the Regional Economic Strategy, Ayrshire Growth Deal, and origins of the AEM can be found in the document.
What will the Ayrshire Energy Masterplan do?
This strategy will:
- Present a pathway to net zero energy use that maximises socioeconomic benefits for Ayrshire.
- Act as a framework to be a catalyst for investment in energy infrastructure relating to:
- Heat
- Transport
- Power
- Shape intervention strategies and pathways to ensure a just transition to net zero
The recommendations made in the Ayrshire Energy Masterplan focus on carbon emissions associated with energy use and will be progressed alongside council Local Heat and Energy Efficiency Strategy (LHEES) delivery plans.
