{Scottish} Renewable power rises by a fifth (BBC)

[eppur_se_muova]

More than a quarter of the electricity generated in Scotland last year was produced from wind, hydro and other renewable sources.

Official figures showed the amount of renewable power increased by a fifth, while the total power generated in Scotland went up by 3%.

Scotland exported nearly a quarter of the total power produced.

Domestic demand for electricity continued to fall - down by 4% in 2009 and down by 10% between 2005 and 2009.

Britain saw the same level of decline over those four years, but Scotland continues to have higher energy use.
