2014 Renewable Energy Progress Report

RegenSW has published the 2014 Renewable Energy Progress Report

The south west now generates enough renewable electricity in the south west to power over one quarter of all homes. The capacity of renewable electricity in the south west has grown by 37 per cent to nearly 1.2 GW – and the region now generates 8.3 per cent of its electricity from renewables.

The Progress Report also shows the south west leads the way in small and community scale renewables with 21 per cent of projects under the Feed-in Tariff, more than any other UK region, and 14 per cent of the Renewable Heat Incentive projects, second only to Scotland.
