Scotland Approves Two Wind Energy Projects. By Daniel Fineren, Reuters, August 7, 2009. "The Scottish government has given the go-ahead to two wind power projects, including one held up in the planning system for five years, that could supply enough clean energy for about 43,000 homes, it said on Friday. The 29-turbine Berry Burn wind farm near Forres will have a capacity of 78 megawatts (MW), while a 15-MW expansion of the 20-turbine Millennium wind farm near Fort Augustus will increase the capacity to 65 MW... In contrast to legislators in London, Scotland has ruled out building new nuclear power plants to replace its aging reactors and plans to meet half of its electricity demand from renewables by 2020... Total installed renewables capacity in Scotland is over 3 gigawatts (GW)."
