RSPB Scotland has welcomed the publication of the new Scottish Energy Strategy by the Scottish Government.
The strategy sets a new 2030 ‘all-energy’ target for the equivalent of 50 per cent of Scotland’s heat, transport and electricity consumption to be supplied from renewable sources, marking the beginning of a government approach to energy that seeks to better integrate the whole energy system as well as delivering much greater levels of energy e_ ciency as a strategic priority.
Alexa Morrison, senior policy offcer at RSPB Scotland, said: ‘We welcome the publication, in particular the new target for 50 per cent of energy to come from renewables by 2030, and call on Scottish Government and industry to work together to deliver these important targets while at the same time protecting the special places for wildlife we hold dear.’
