Scottish Energy Strategy: The future of Energy in Scotland

4. ETP Emporium Wind Theme
A new 2030 ‘all-energy’ target for the equivalent of 50% of Scotland’s heat, transport and electricity consumption to be supplied from renewables.
Between 11 and 17GW of renewable capacity by 2030
In 2014,19% of Scotland’s final energy consumption is from Electricity.
In 2015, renewables represented 42% of electricity production in Scotland, equivalent to 59% of electricity requirements.
Since UK General Election been substantial negative changes for support of key renewable energy technologies.
