Renewing the Highlands with Green Energy

The Highlands of Scotland is a hub for renewable energy, from wind farms to hydro, even solar!

Did you know?

• Between 2009-2019 fossil fuel usage increased by 1.7%. Whereas, renewable energy usage grew by 5%. This might seem like a small percentage; however this is positive progress for a sustainable future.

• In 2020, Scotland produced enough electricity to cover 97% of its consumption. This is in comparison to 2011, when renewable Scottish energy only covered 37% of its needed electricity.

• In 2020, 260 gigawatts of renewable energy capacity were installed worldwide. This is enough to power 195,000,000 average homes. 91% of this energy capacity was through solar and wind power.

One of Hydro Ness’s key partners is SSE Renewables which generates and supplies renewable energy across Scotland.
