Recent statistics for renewable energy projects in Scotland

Recent statistics for renewable energy projects in Scotland

Over the last 3 months, the following numbers of projects have been advertised in the Edinburgh Gazette for public comment:
- 1 large and 4 small hydro-electric schemes;
- 11 large and 28 small onshore wind farms;
- 2 large offshore wind farms;
- 1 large wave farm.
Scottish Ministers will determine the 'large' planning applications (i.e. with more than 50MW installed capacity). Local authorities determine the 'small' ones (below that threshold).
