While last year was a good year for Scottish Energy News, 2016 has already got off to a record-breaking start.
- In November 2015, Scottish Energy News.com attracted just under 14,000 unique visitors to the website – an all-time record high.
- And in the 12-month period from Jan-Dec 2015, the number of unique website visitors overall grew year on year by just under 25%.
- The average number of visitors to the Scottish Energy News.com website in 2015 was just under 10,500 every month.
- But there’s even more good news for readers (and advertisers)
- In January 2016, there was a massive leap forward of 57% in the number of unique website visitors to total 16,516 – compared to the average monthly total of 10,500 last year.
- And with only three weeks of February 2016 counted, the number of unique website visitors stood at just under 13,000 – which is a 23% increase compared to the average monthly total of 10,500 last year.

In addition, Scottish Energy News delivers the daily email bulletin to 5,000 energy professionals (in oil, gas and renewables) in the UK – and around the world in north America, EU and the Middle and Far East.
Readers include 75% of MSPs in the Scottish Parliament – and many more in Brussels and Westminster, as well as by industry association chiefs, company directors and senior executives, industry professionals, public sector bodies, regulators, industry professionals, think-tanks and trade unions.
Because of the global significance of Scotland’s oil, gas, wind, wave and other natural energy resources, Scottish Energy News provides a unique pan-global perspective.
Furthermore, while Scottish Energy News is updated and published daily (Mon-Fri), thousands of readers are still reading over the weekend on Saturdays and Sundays – especially for our longer-read BUSINESS PROFILE and POLICY PLATFORM articles on the website.
Forthcoming Events

In addition, you can use tweets about your company on Twitter @ScotEnergyNews to re-market yourselves – also all free of charge (and unlike some regional/ local publishers)
