STATUTORY CONSULTATION ON REVIEW OF ROS (SUPPORT FOR WAVE AND TIDAL POWER) 2006
The Renewables Obligation (Scotland), or ROS, has been very successful to date in stimulating the growth and development of new renewables capacity in Scotland,
largely from onshore wind and hydro power. This statutory consultation seeks views
on our detailed proposals for a Marine Supply Obligation, designed to deliver that support. It also contains a link to a wider UK consultation on further proposed changes to the ROS with respect to co-firing and small generators.
