Scottish Energy Strategy
A New 2030 ‘All Energy’ Renewables Target
To delivery the equivalent of 50% of Scotland’s
heat, transport and electricity consumption from
renewable sources
Scottish Energy Strategy
Electricity Generation by Fuel Type
• In 2015, 59.4% of Scotland’s electricity consumption was
met by renewables

Solar in Scotland
UK and Scotland receives as much solar irradiation as Germany
which has one of the largest PV market
Scottish Energy Strategy
Solar PV is considered one of the main technologies that generate
renewables electricity

“In England the Rateable Value is currently set by applying a maximum rate of £8.00 per kWpto an install, therefore a 150kWp install would pay £576 p.a. in business rates. In Scotland the Rateable Value can be anywhere between £200
and £700 per panel, so that same 150kWp install would pay up to £10,080 p.a. in business rates. Both ratings methodologies are under review in
the 2017 re-evaluation.”
