The following data map illustrates the distribution of wind throughout the UK based on the British Wind Energy Association UK wind database, hosted by the Department of Energy and Climate Change. Scotland is the windiest country in Europe with 25% of Europe’s overall wind resource. Our abundance of wind energy is evident from this visual guide and it is clear to see how well placed Scotland is to fulfil its role as Europe’s green energy frontrunner.
