Torrance Wind Farm Extension 2

Welcome to Torrance Wind Farm Extension 2

In line with advice from the Committee on Climate Change (CCC), in preparing the Climate Change Act 2019, the Scottish Government has set a target date of 2045 for reaching net-zero emissions and raised the ambition of the 2030 and 2040 targets to 70% and 90% emissions reductions respectively.  The Climate Change Act 2019 means that Scotland has the most stringent statutory targets in the world.

The CCC’s advice is that Scotland can now achieve such a target, provided that action is taken to further develop renewable energy assets. Wind farm extensions such as Torrance Wind Farm Extension 2 will help us achieve this aim.
