Keeping in mind of course that the Daily Record is a 'tabloid' which means it depends are articles generating traffic based on the alarmism. Certainly the author of the referenced piece steps right up on that goal.

Of course companies spin their marketing materials to look good. If a marketing department didn't do that then they should all be fired.

As with every other release that I have seen of green power they use a simple equation of 'green power max'/('total power' - 'green power max') to get the percentage being created.

That is never correct since it does not account of sustained power produced and peak power usage at all. Following is fairly decent although data is somewhat old.

Renewable energy in Scotland - Wikipedia[^]

I didn't do a deep dive but the only sustainable source I saw on the list was hydro.

And far as I can tell there is no storage at all. Only plans for it. Which means comparisons between Scotland usage and Scotland generation is absolutely pointless because they are selling a lot of that green power to other countries.
