Wind turbines in Scotland supplied the equivalent of 93% of the country’s household electricity in August, according to The National newspaper.

That is a new record and 33% more than in August 2016.

Wind generated enough output to potentially supply 100% or more of Scottish homes on nine out of the 31 days of August and power nearly 5m households across the UK on one day alone.
