Mr. Kidney

The UK does not have specific targets for wind power generation. However, under the lead scenario in the Renewable Energy Strategy published last July, more than 30 per cent. of our electricity could be generated from renewables by 2020. Much of this generation would be from onshore and offshore wind.
