6 FAQs about [Scottish wind power storage power generation]

Which wind projects generate the most power in Scotland?

According to the map, onshore wind projects currently generate the most power in Scotland – accounting for 8.82k megawatts (MW) That’s followed by offshore wind at 1.91k MW, pumped-storage hydroelectricity, which accounts for 740 MW and large hydro projects at 422.6 MW.

What is the Scottish onshore wind sector deal?

In September 2023 the Scottish Government (SG), Scottish renewables (SR) and the onshore wind sector launched the Scottish Onshore Wind Sector Deal (SOWSD), outlining an ambition of 20 GW of operational onshore wind in Scotland by the end of 2030 and setting out the actions that Government and the sector will take to realise that ambition.

How much wind power does Scotland have?

4. Renewable wind capacity alone in Scotland is over 11GW. This is 39% of the UK capacity, and approximately 5% of European and 1% of world total installed wind capacity. 5. In 2022, almost 28 TWh of zero carbon electricity was generated by renewable wind in Scotland, representing 35% of all wind generation in the UK.

What is Scotland's 'Scotland renewables' generating capacity?

During the exploration of the ‘Scotland renewables’ data, summing all the onshore wind installed generating capacity, under construction or having approved planning permission, Scotland’s generation capacity will be 13.95 GW, enough to cover current peak demand.

How many renewable heat generation capacity are there in Scotland?

Source: Scottish Energy Statistics Hub Chart 11 sets out the current mix of renewable heat generation capacity in Scotland. 2,140GW of renewable heat capacity was operational in Scotland by the end of 2020, up from 2.06GW in 2019 and 0.44GW in 2010.

Will Scotland grow its wind power by 2030?

8. Realising Scotland’s potential to grow capacity in onshore wind and offshore wind (to 20GW and up to 11GW respectively) by 2030 would result in substantial increases in renewable generation, supporting decarbonisation in Scotland, the UK and beyond.
