UK’s renewable drive adds pace Friday 29 July 2005 Energy Minister Malcolm Wicks has launched two consultations on connecting remote sources of renewable energy to the grid, at the opening of a new wind farm in Dumfries and Galloway. The proposals will look to harness the significant renewable potential of the Scottish Islands, while the two consultations are the latest attempt to capitalise on the UK’s coastlines in developing clean energy markets. "Over the past year, the percentage of electricity generated from renewables has grown at a record rate and new wind developments such as the fifteen turbines here near Stranraer look set to continue that trend. I have been very impressed at the renewable energy industry's commitment to our target of 10% by 2010 and am delighted to be making my first wind farm visit here at Artfield Fell,” said Mr Wicks, speaking at the official opening of Scottish and Southern Energy’s 20 megawatt facility. “Given the right incentives, the islands could contribute more than a percentage point towards our 10% target, that's enough to power three quarters of a million households, more than Edinburgh, Glasgow and Aberdeen combined,” added the Energy Minister. greenconsumerguide.com
