Grid Emissions

In 2021, electricity generated in Scotland added on average an estimated 26.9 grams of carbon dioxide per kilowatt hour into the atmosphere (gCO2e/ kWh). This means that we continue to meet our ambition, set out in the 2018 Climate Change Plan, to have an electricity grid intensity below 50g CO2 per kilowatt hour
