In the first half of 2019, Scotland produced enough wind energy to power every home in the country and some in Northern England, according to new data from WeatherEnergy, part of the European EnergizAIR project.
Between January and June, wind turbines generated approximately 9.8 million megawatt hours — enough to power 4.47 million homes for six months. It’s a record-high for the country’s wind output
The Scottish government plans to produce half the country’s energy consumption from renewables by 2030 and aims to completely decarbonize energy by 2050.
