   30% they say comes from renewables in Sc

   THE amount of clean power made in Scotland has matched that produced from   
   fossil fuels for the first time, in a record year for renewables, -according   
   to the latest figures.   
      
   Energy from renewable sources accounted for 32 per cent of all electricity   
   generated north of the Border last year - equal to the output from oil, coal   
   and gas. Nuclear power stations provided 34.9 per cent.   
      
   The final 2013 figures from the UK Department of Energy and Climate Change   
   (DECC), released yesterday, also show Scotland continued to be a net exporter   
   of power, with a record 28 per cent being sent elsewhere, mainly to England.   
      
   The key drivers of the overall rise were a 39 per cent increase in hydro   
   generation and 13 per cent more output from wind.
