The Scottish Government released a 30-year infrastructure investment plan focusing on renewing and upgrading the transport network rather than expanding it. Key documents include the Long-term infrastructure strategy and the Infrastructure Delivery Pipeline.

Significant projects include £519M for rail electrification and £1.2bn for renewing the rail fleet and ferry vessels. The plan emphasizes decarbonization, maintenance, and leveraging technology. It also outlines objectives for the water sector, targeting maintenance and climate adaptation, and envisions a transformative energy system in 30 years, focusing on offshore wind and hydrogen. Additional investments include £4.1bn for affordable housing and £150M for marine protection vessels.
