Scottish Power Renewables has called on the UK government to back further development of onshore wind farms in Scotland. The company has completed a £650m ($875m) infrastructure project and seeks increased support from regulators and politicians to further develop the industry and keep pace with increasing demand. “Offshore wind’s potential is huge but it needs more investment than ever before if we are going to meet our climate change targets over coming decades,” said Andrew Wilson, chief executive of ScottishPower. "If the UK government is serious about reducing carbon emissions and having enough clean power to support the huge expected growth in electric vehicles, then more onshore wind is essential."
