SCOTLAND should develop its competitive advantage in green energy, which could be an “important part” of the economic case for independence, according to economists.
Experts at Edinburgh Napier University say the country’s wind power could also be presented as a benefit when it comes to potentially rejoining the European Union.
New figures published last month revealed 97.4% of electricity was generated from renewable sources in Scotland last year.
A target of 100% was narrowly missed – although that was set in 2011, when renewable energy such as wind and hydro generated just 37% of national demand.
Dr Kenny Crossan, lecturer in economics at Edinburgh Napier University, argued more could be done to harness the economic benefits of renewables.
