Scotland powers nearly half of UK’s wind energy milestone. Scotland’s wind farms are generating 48% of the UK’s 30GW wind power capacity, with new projects pushing this total higher.

Couldn’t see a lot of coverage of this. The only other one I could see was from The National:
* [Scotland’s wind can power 13 million homes as major milestone hit](https://archive.is/bBWr4)
That, and dont forget Scotland contributes a full 25% of Europe’s wind power
Check out the NG ESO app,it shows real time power generating % mix. Scotland is 45% windy ATM.
There are a lot of very exciting offshore projects coming in the future, all good stuff 💪🏻
Moronic tories banned on shore wind in England, hobbling their wind power generation for probably years to come.
How much power does Scotland use per year ?
That’s all well and good but according to some folks down south we should be building nuclear power plants.
There was a wind lull today and nuclear overtook wind in Southern Scotland [https://electricityproduction.uk/in/scotland/](https://electricityproduction.uk/in/scotland/)
