Energy Statistics for Scotland - Q3 2023 Part 2

additional publication for Q3 2023 following publication of Scotland's gas and electricity consumption for 2022.


Renewable Electricity Target

 

The renewable electricity target is no longer an official target as the target year of 2020 has been reported on. However we are continuing to monitor progress of the target. The renewable electricity target is calculated as all electricity generated from renewable sources within Scotland divided by Scotland’s gross electricity consumption (all electricity generated minus net electricity exports).

In 2022, the equivalent of 113% of Scotland’s gross electricity consumption was generated from renewable sources, an increase of 26 percentage points compared to 2021.
