Renewable Obligation (Scotland) Review
The Renewables Obligation (Scotland) (“ROS”) was introduced as a market mechanism to provide financial support to renewable technologies which replace conventionally generated power. The resulting reduction in emissions of CO2 was meant to be rewarded by the ROS.
SESA stressed the need for the government to recognise that waste is a resource that has the potential to offset a significant part of fossil-fuel energy generation. The current policy framework does not provide the necessary incentives to allow Scotland to realise the full potential of this resource.
SESA expressed disappointment at proposals to reduce future support for landfill gas and cheaper technologies and pressed for the full potential of EfW to be realised through ROC eligibility.
