Three years ago，it set out to achieve 50% from green power within 10 years. But new industry research suggested that the countrys renewable energy potential was bigger than thought. First Minister Alex Salmond has now announced that the government is setting a new target of 80% of electricity from renewables by 2020. He said: “We are already on the path to a low carbon economy—Scotland gets nearly a quarter of its electricity from green sources.” “Scotland is ideally placed to help lead the renewables revolution and thinking of the levels of planned investment over the next decade.” “I believe it is now time to aim higher and to go further.” An independent analysis was commissioned by Scottish Renewables into the countrys renewable energy potential，which includes power drawn from wind，tidal，wave and hydro turbines，and energy from waste. It said the 2007 target of sourcing 50% of power needs from green sources within 10 years could easily be reached. It said it should reach 31% by next year，and there are several large projects which have already won approval and will come_on_stream after that. At a conservative estimate of increased generation and reduced demand，the country could have 81% renewable electricity within a decade，consultants Garrad Hassan claimed. With more ambitious assumptions about investment and consumption，renewables could provide 123% of Scotlands power needs.The surplus could be used for exports，requiring improved connectors out of Scotland.
