| Scotland | renewables: wind
Scotland's Clyde Wind Farm is one of Europe’s largest at 350 MW (152 2.3-MW turbines) across 47 square km, enough to power 279,000 homes. The site layout was optimized to catch the most wind and was grid connected in 2011. Renewable energy now powers more than one third of Scotland's electricity. “In Scotland we’ll always have wind.” (14:31)
