Coal: potential for 2 coal plants with carbon capture technology, each with installed capacity of 1.6 GW.

Nuclear: from 2016 only one nuclear power plant with installed capacity of 1.2 GW will remain operational in Scotland, but will close by 2030.

Onshore wind: forecast to increase to at least 6.5 GW by 2020.

Offshore wind: the Crown Estate has released 12 Scottish offshore wind site with potential capacity of 11.2 GW; 10 Scottish Territorial Waters sites (6.4 GW) and 2 Round 3 sites (4.8 GW).

Marine: based on the Forum for Renewable Energy Development in Scotland - Marine Energy Group central scenario of 1 GW installed capacity by 2020, from the range of 500 MW - 2 GW.

Hydro: conservative assumption that conventional and hydro pumped electricity capacity remain at current levels.
