About Scotland
Scotland is a country known for its mountain wilderness. This mountainous landscape is also interspersed with stunning lakes and valleys. The natural beauty of the country is complemented by its vibrant cultural scene.
Due to the rich natural beauty, proponents of renewable energy think that Scotland is the ideal source for alternative power.
By 2020, the Scottish government is targeting to tap into 100% renewable energy sources. As of 2017, the proponents of renewable energy in Scotland claims that they are bang on target.
In fact, they have gone early with some of their renewable energy targets such as electric consumption from renewable energy hitting 60% (from a target of 10% by 2017).
Just like England and Wales, the Scottish government has also issued a Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) to encourage property owners to opt for renewable heating systems.
If you have been using renewable heating systems for 7 years, you are qualified to get financial support from the government. This tariff will be paid as a form of compensation to the initial cost of installing a renewable heating system (whether air or ground source) into your property.
