The data was provided by the Scottish Government through an FOI request, however we discovered that some of the figures had not been updated since last year. We therefore undertook our own research using on-line renewables databases The figures below relate to turbines over 100kw only. As always, East Renfrewshire is in first place as the worst affected area.
