Clean, green energy for the nation's future
A summary for policy makers

This summary paper outlines five scenarios developed in our full report, from ‘business as usual’ to alternative, low carbon futures for electricity generation in Scotland. Using these cases, we have sought to:

• Develop likely and practical scenarios for the supply of Scotland’s electricity needs up to 2030;
• Assess the likely need for large-scale conventional nuclear or Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS)-equipped fossil fired thermal plant to deliver security of supply in such scenarios;
• Identify and assess alternative means of delivering security of supply by 2030 without reliance on nuclear or fossil-fired thermal plant.
