Move over California. Scotland has ambitious smart grid plans, to say the least.
The country will need to see those plans through if it is going to reach its 2020 goal of having 100% of its energy capable of being provided by renewables.
The recently released Scottish Smart Grid Sector Strategy includes jobs for 12,000 people in smart grid and another 28,000 in wind, potential microgrids on outlying islands, smart meters at every home and business, and harnessing enough offshore wind to power Scotland and export excess power to other countries.
