Industry bosses are being invited to take part in a fresh study to track business sentiment at this pivotal moment for the UK's energy sector.

Aberdeen & Grampian Chamber of Commerce has this morning launched the 36th edition of its energy sector survey, which has been tracking industry trends since 2004.

Energy Transition 36 – which is again being delivered in partnership with KPMG and Energy Transition Zone Ltd – is expected to be the most significant to date, as the sector accelerates towards a carbon negative future.

The survey goes live today and runs and should take no more than 10 minutes to complete. All survey responses are completely confidential and will not be attributed to individuals or their companies in the final report.

Russell Borthwick, Chief Executive of AGCC, said: “The Aberdeen & Grampian Chamber of Commerce energy sector survey has been tracking industry sentiment and trends since 2004.

"Working with our sponsors KPMG and Energy Transition Zone Ltd, we expect Energy Transition 36 to be the most important report to date given the incredible prevailing winds impacting the economy, concerns over energy security and supply and the huge opportunity facing our region and nation in taking a global leadership position in new energy technologies.

"The study has become established as a vital source of industry intelligence for businesses, policy makers and the media and so we are asking any company operating in the energy sector with a presence in the North-east of Scotland to take part.

"This will help the Chamber ensure the voice of the industry is heard, setting out the challenges faced by operators and supply chain businesses so the necessary policy and other interventions are put in place to enable the Aberdeen region is at the heart of the UK’s energy transition."

Martin Findlay, office senior partner in Aberdeen for KPMG UK, said: “More than a third of oil and gas companies hadn’t developed a net zero strategy when we last conducted this survey earlier this year. It’s critical that this begins to change, and more firms pick up the pace towards transition particularly given the risks of global warming, the ongoing energy security crisis, and pressure on household utility bills.

"What companies do next will determine the talent they attract, the customers they serve, the profits they make, and ultimately the impact they’ll have on society long term.”
