Powering Scotland to a Cleaner Future

ScottishPower Renewables hits record high of UK wind power and calls for government support to meet rising demand

Following the completion of a £650million investment programme to build eight new onshore windfarms, ScottishPower Renewables has now passed the 2,000 megawatt (MW) milestone for UK wind power capacity.

The company has called for politicians and regulators to support the future development of onshore wind in Scotland - one of cheapest forms of green energy - citing the need to hit carbon reduction targets and support the anticipated increase in demand to charge electric vehicles.
