Data from the Scottish Government shows that green power sources produced more than enough electricity for the country’s demand in 2022. “For the first time Scotland has produced more renewable electricity than it consumed, demonstrating the enormous potential of Scotland’s green economy,” said Scotland’s Energy Secretary Neil Gray.
“Our ambition is not only to generate enough green electricity to power Scotland’s homes and businesses, but also export electricity to our neighbors, supporting jobs here in Scotland and the decarbonization ambitions of our partners.”
