Scotland has missed its target
of generating 100% of its electricity demand from renewable sources by 2020.
According to final figures for 2020, renewables accounted for 98.
6% of Scotland's total electricity consumption, an increase of 8.
8 percentage points
over 2019.
According to the Scottish Energy Statistics Centre, this increase reflects a 1.
9-TWh expansion in renewable electricity production, including 0.
9 TWh from hydropower and 0.
7 TWh from onshore wind
.
In 2020, the total amount of renewable energy generation was just over 32 TWh
.
Specifically, the share of renewable energy generation was 61.
8%, and the share of low-carbon energy generation was 88.
1%.
"While we do face many challenges if we are to achieve ambitious targets, we have laid the groundwork for Scotland to make a significant leap towards net zero in 2021," the Department responsible for net zero, energy and transport said
in its annual energy statement in December.
Scotland has committed to a net-zero target
by 2045.
Notably, in Q3 2021, Scotland's renewable electricity generation fell by 35% year-on-year, compared to a 22.
3% decline in the first nine months of 2021, reflecting adverse weather for hydro and wind power, but also reflecting issues such as
intermittent renewables.
