Scotland’s a winner with wind power

- GRAEME MURRAY

SCOTLAND’S wind turbines have generated record amounts of power this year.

Analysis of WeatherEne­rgy data by WWF Scotland revealed that in June alone, they sent 1,039,001MWh to the National Grid – enough to fuel three million homes.

WWF director Dr Sam Gardner said: “The first six months of 2017 have certainly been incredible for renewables, with wind turbines alone helping to ensure millions of tons of climate-damaging carbon emissions were avoided.

“Scotland is continuing to break records on renewable electricit­y.”
