Article is heavy on word |
Article is heavy on word "capacity" (potential to deliver energy units) but lacking on actual production numbers of energy delivered, at least historically. Highly misleading. By now there should be actual production numbers. Without actual production numbers, this is just propaganda.

Needs update
@Arossmorrison, Rich Farmbrough, SAMurrai, and Ben MacDui: Hello. I can see you and other people have been updating recently but I think there is rather too much old stuff still here for a featured article. It would be great if some enthusiastic Scot could summarise a lot of the older detail and give the article a thorough overhaul. That would make it more readable I think. It would be nice to feature it again before COP26 perhaps. Chidgk1 (talk) 18:19, 15 April 2020 (UTC)
- Hi, @Chidgk1:, I've quickly updated the introduction with latest figures, I'll probably have time in a couple of months to pick through the article and update it but not before then so others are free to do so, added to my todo list. SAMurrai (talk) 19:59, 15 April 2020 (UTC)
- SAMurrai, Any update on this? I think the article will need a large update to remain featured. Femke Nijsse (talk) 10:28, 16 October 2020 (UTC)
Needs more on heat I think
Not going to do any more on this article myself but if anyone has time I suggest that now natural gas is so expensive that more info is added here re renewable energy for heating homes etc Chidgk1 (talk) 19:41, 11 July 2022 (UTC)
First sentence
The first sentence defines "renewable energy in Scotland" as "a topic". Surely we can do better. Scanning the lead for something more useful and substantial, while still representing the breadth of the topic, I found this sentence, which I think would be more appropriate, and also more in line with what a sample of other "Renewable energy in ..." articles have as a first sentence.
- "In 2020 a quarter of total energy consumption, including heat and transportation, was met from renewables and the Scottish government target is half by 2030."
I would go ahead and drop it in as a new first sentence, but if we did that, the place where that sentence is now would also need to be reworked. There's also the question of the 2005 reference from the current first sentence, which I think is no longer important, but I'm reluctant to just drop that without considering whether it is still useful somewhere in the article. Ccrrccrr (talk) 11:37, 22 April 2023 (UTC)
- I figured out a way to preserve the flow of the paragraph that I lifted that sentence from. I'm hoping that other people agree that this is an improvement, even if it's not as carefully planned out and developed by consensus as I would like. Ccrrccrr (talk) 14:03, 22 April 2023 (UTC)
Summary of Scotland's resource potential table
Does someone have sources for the remainder of this table? Or can we align the whole thing with the info given by scottishrenewables.com so it can be sustainably updated over time? Ed [talk] [majestic titan] 16:45, 22 April 2023 (UTC)
- In addition, I note that there is an error in that the terawatt hour column appears to be terawatt hours per day, which is important to note, not only for the sake of being correct but because one might assume, for example that it is TWh/year Ccrrccrr (talk) 17:33, 22 April 2023 (UTC)
"Capacity" is not delivery
Article is heavy on word "capacity" (potential to deliver energy units) but lacking on actual production numbers of energy delivered, at least historically. Highly misleading. By now there should be actual production numbers. Without actual production numbers, this is just propaganda. 2600:6C48:7006:200:5C10:C716:750B:C3B2 (talk) 00:00, 23 April 2023 (UTC)
