The Future of Renewables in Scotland’s Energy Policy

As an amendment to motion S4M-14272 in the name of Fergus Ewing (The Future of Renewables in Scotland’s Energy Policy), leave out from "welcomes" to end and insert “recognises the need for a balanced energy policy for Scotland in which renewable energy is a component; understands that, with projects constructed, under construction or with consent, the Scottish Government’s target of generating an equivalent of 100% of Scotland's electricity demand from renewable sources will be met by 2020; welcomes steps by the UK Government to relieve pressure on consumer bills by reducing subsidies to mature technologies such as onshore wind power, and believes that renewable energy in all its forms will continue to have a healthy future across the UK.”
