Speaking at the Scottish Low-carbon Investment conference in Edinburgh on Tuesday 28 September Scotland’s First Minister Alex Salmond said advances in clean, green energy presented a "pivotal turning point in human history", and that with private investment, the market for renewables could grow to £4.3tn by 2015. He also expected Scotland to be able to produce enough renewable energy to supply "at least 100%” of its electricity needs by 2025.
Mr Salmond also unveiled an industry-led Offshore Wind Route Map, setting out the key actions required in the coming years to fully realise the huge potential around the coast of Scotland - estimated to have a quarter of Europe's potential offshore wind and tidal capacity and a tenth of its wave resource.
