Scotland takes a big leap...

I was delighted to see Scotland's First Minister increase our target for renewable energy generation and reaffirm the government's commitment to the sector.



Alex Salmond also committed Scotland to producing 80% of its electricity from renewable sources by 2020 with 100% aimed for integration by 2025.

This is a very ambitious aim but is commendable and will position the country at the centre of Europe's renewable energy industry. The action plan sets out how the country will attract £200 billion of investment in the sector and establish 68Gw of offshore energy capacity as Scotland aims to capitalise on its vast wind and marine resource. We can only hope it succeeds...
