Scotland aims to be the first part of the UK to host “subsidy-free” onshore wind under an ambitious new draft energy strategy that also sees a big role for offshore turbines.
The draft plan sets a new overall goal of meeting 50% of the total energy needed for Scotland’s power, heat and transport from renewables by 2030.
That beefs up the country’s existing target to meet 100% of its power needs from renewables by 2020.
