Renewables Scotland 2030: A discussion paper on how to transform Scotland’s energy sector by 2030
― UK energy policy since 1980 has failed Scotland. It has led to the six largest energy companies seeing profit margins rise 4.48% since 2016, with 34.9% of households in Scotland currently facing fuel poverty.
― The Scottish Government should invest in energy infrastructure and electric vehicles to meet 75% of overall energy demand by 2030.
Energy Infrastructure
― Scotland has only captured 0.06% of marine energy potential. The Scottish Government should boost R&D in wave and tidal technology, with an aim to capture 25% of marine energy resource by 2030.
