A new WindEurope report ‘Our energy, our future’ released today (Nov 26) concludes that the EU Commission’s offshore wind goals – between 230 and 450GW by 2050 – are achievable provided the right grid investments and spatial planning.
Responding, Fabrice Leveque, Senior Policy Manager at Scottish Renewables, said:
“Scotland’s seas have some of the best wind resource in Europe and offshore wind turbines give us the capability to capture it, creating economic and environmental benefits for Scotland and helping meet our emissions targets.
“These new figures are very ambitious, but demonstrate the kind of thinking which countries across the world must now embrace if we are to deploy more renewable energy solutions to tackle the climate emergency.”
