The majority of electricity that is generated in Scotland is from renewable sources, and Scotland plays a crucial role in the United Kingdom’s overall renewable energy landscape. As of 24 September 2024, Scotland hosted 27 per cent of UK renewable electricity capacity. Following work that was undertaken in 2023, the Fraser of Allander Institute estimated that, in 2021, Scotland’s renewable energy sectors and supply chains supported more than £10.1 billion-worth of output, more than 42,000 full-time equivalent jobs and more than £4.7 billion of gross value added across the Scottish economy.
