Renewable Energy provided 50% of Scotland's Electricity in 2015

The Scottish government target of achieving 50 per cent of gross consumption of electricity from renewables by 2015 has come to reality. According to a new data published last week, renewable provided 49.7 percent of Scotland's electricity demand in 2014 which means that the 50 percent target was achieved almost a year earlier.

Renewable energy have gone past both nuclear (33 per cent) and fossil fuels (28 per cent) in generating electricity for Scotland.

Proving that it can supply a high percentage of a nations energy needs.
