East Scotland

Wind speeds are high in the highland parts of East Scotland and would be ideal for generating electricity using wind turbines, subject to planning consent.

In the more populated lower lying areas there is significantly more sunshine on average. This means that solar energy systems like Solar thermal for generating hot water and Solar Electricity (PV) cell for generating Solar Electricity, in particular, will be effective is installed well.

Temperatures are suitable for both Ground Source Heat Pumps and Air Source Heat Pumps to work if well installed, particularly in the higher populated lower lying areas on East Scotland.
