Submission of evidence to the Economy, Energy and Fair Work Committee on the Annual Energy Statement

RTPI Scotland has submitted evidence to the Economy, Energy and Fair Work Committee on the Annual Energy Statement. The submission noted that with just 5.9% of Scotland's non-electrical heat demand being produced from renewable sources in 2017, it is highly unlikely that an 11% target can be met by 2020. It also made the point that planning will be central to helping deliver the wide scale roll out of non-electrical heating from renewable sources needed to meet Scotland’s net-zero greenhouse gas emission target by 2045.
