The Scottish Government now has a target to meet the equivalent of 100 per cent of our electricity needs from renewables by 2020. Onshore wind generation is now a mainstream part of our energy mix and will continue to play a significant role in meeting this target - both in terms of generating capacity, and in providing the finance to expand other renewable energy sectors. Scotland is one of the windiest countries in Europe, and the technology is mature, attractive to investors and cheaper than alternatives that can be deployed at scale.
