“…[Scotland’s wind power produced more than enough electricity in October] to meet the needs of every home in the country…Wind turbines generated an estimated 982,842 megawatt hours (MWh) of electricity last month - with environmental group WWF Scotland suggesting this was enough to power 3,045,000 homes, the equivalent of 126% of the electricity needs of every home in Scotland… WWF Scotland analysed figures from the WeatherEnergy organization [about the production of Scotland’s installed renewables capacity]…For buildings fitted with solar PV panels, it is estimated there was enough sunshine last month to provide almost half (46%) of the electricity needs of the average home in Edinburgh, while houses in Inverness could get 38% of the electricity needs this way, compared to 37% for properties in Glasgow and 33% for Aberdeen…Solar power could also provide anything up to two-fifths of the hot water needs of homes…” click here for more
