ScottishPower CEO Keith Anderson has been awarded an honorary doctorate by the University of Strathclyde - recognising his role in driving forward the UK’s clean energy ambitions and transforming how we power our lives.

Since becoming CEO in 2018, Keith has led ScottishPower through a major green transformation - it was the first integrated energy company in the UK to go 100% green and it now continues to invest at a record level across the country.

Keith is now spearheading a £24 billion investment programme to supercharge the UK’s clean energy infrastructure, create thousands of green jobs, and help deliver a fairer, more sustainable future. He said, “This is a huge honour - not just for me, but for everyone at ScottishPower who is working every day to deliver a cleaner, more affordable and more secure energy future that will benefit everybody.

“We’re not just talking about change - we’re building it. From windfarms to grid upgrades, from community support to climate action, our company is proving that a better future isn’t just possible - it’s already happening.”

Professor Sir Jim McDonald, Principal and Vice-Chancellor of the University of Strathclyde, said: “Keith’s leadership in clean energy is not only transforming the sector - it’s inspiring the next generation of engineers, scientists and innovators.

“His work aligns perfectly with Strathclyde’s mission to deliver impact through research, education and partnership. We’re proud to honour someone who shares our commitment to building a fairer, greener world."

In April this year Keith was awarded British Business Leader of the Year at the British Business Awards.  He was recognised for his contribution to the energy sector and broader impact on the UK economy.
