The document outlines the UK’s renewable energy targets and scenarios for 2020, focusing on achieving 15% of final energy consumption from renewable sources, with specific percentages for electricity, heating, and transport. It discusses the necessary increases in wind capacity, both onshore and offshore, and highlights the structural and regulatory requirements needed to meet these goals. Despite the challenges, it emphasizes that achieving these targets is feasible with the right investments, policies, and societal engagement.
