Scotland is a country with very ambitious targets for the integration of renewable energy sources into its electricity mix. In 2011 its First Minister, Alex Salmond, increased the target for renewable electricity generation to be the equivalent of 100% of Scotland's own electricity demand by 2020. The plan is to achieve this goal by generating two times more electricity than the country needs with more than half of it coming from renewable sources. According to Scottish Government estimates, Scotland has a quarter of Europe's total offshore wind and tidal energy resource and a tenth of its potential wave capacity, potentially totalling 58 GW. Even assuming a low capacity factor of 25% this potential could meet the country’s current electricity needs more than three times over. - See more at: http://www.fuelcelltoday.com/analysis/analyst-views/2013/13-10-23-fuel-cells-and-hydrogen-in-scotland#sthash.QUikB0uG.dpuf
