Renewable Energy Target

[x] 2018 figure is incorrect in text (currently 20.9%, should be 20.8%)
[x] Looks like transport figures have been updated, but it is hard to follow through how it has happened based on the sources
[x] Little bit concerned that the renewable transport data source is for 2020 – might need to bring it back to 2019 (assuming that is what is used in the calculations) as that is what is shown on the page.

Renewable Electricity Generation

[x] The fall in the first half was the first time it has happened since 2016. It’s the first time there has been a decrease in Q2 since 2018.

Renewable Electricity Pipeline

[x] What comes from the energy trends publication?
[x] Minor comment – can you resize the chart or move the label so the ‘W’ of GW is not cut off.

Electricity Consumption by Fuel

Renewable Electricity Sources

Renewable Heat Target

[ ] Where has the biomethane figure in the last sentence come from? Do we need to provide a second data table showing a time series breakdown by technology to support this statement?

Non-Domestic RHI

Energy Consumption Target

[x] Low is now 2019, so need to rephrase the sentence in the first paragraph that states that the low was in 2015. Maybe remove it as we do state the 2019 figure is a record low in the second para.

Energy Consumption

[x] Can you add in the factor under the table used to convert from ktoe to GWh as the raw data is in the former but we present in the latter.

Electricity Consumption

[x] Can we have the total figures in the chart in a different colour from the domestic. It’s a bit confusing as is.
[x] Can you state that the % change from baseline in the chart is for 2019.

Heat Consumption

Gas Consumption

[x] As above
[x] ‘…equivalent of almost half of current annual gas use’ (I assume it is current)
[x] Gas usage in Na h-Eileanan Siar (not Western Isles) is 10.8 MWh, although that is not the lowest as Orkney and Shetland have 0. East Ren now 18.1 GWh.
[ ]

Transport Energy Consumption

[x] Can you state that the % change from baseline in the chart is for 2019.
[x] Can you just have the 2005-2007 baseline in the table like on the other consumption pages. Also the baseline data row is not labelled in the table.
[x] In the text, we need to be specific that the percentage changes are compared to the baseline (except the last one)
[ ]

Energy Bill Payment Methods

[x] I don’t agree with this sentence: ‘The proportion of Scottish prepayment customers for electricity stabilised at approximately 17% since 2005, suggesting that prepayment customers do not tend to move to other payment methods’.
[x] The average proportion since 2005 is 19% and as far as I can see, we do not have any evidence for the second statement relating to prepayment customers not moving.
[x] I suggest changing to: ‘The proportion of Scottish prepayment customers for electricity has remained stable at around 19% since June 2005’.

Market Structure

[ ] The text talks about Scottish consumers having the choice of x amount of suppliers, yet the data looks like it is for GB.
[ ] Have the shares figures come from the XOServe data?
[ ] Can we provide some definitions for what large/medium/small are

Energy Consumption Target

[ ] Can you change the chart so that they are the same as the other consumption charts (i.e. take out the individual 2005, 2006 and 2007 rows).
[ ] Is there a reason BEIS publishes in ktoe and we report in GWh? Can we add the multiplication factor under the table so that people can easily see where the GWh figures have come from? It might be nice if you could toggle between ktoe and GWh?

Boilers

[ ] I’m guessing rounding, but looks like a 3 percentage point increase since 2018 rather than 4.
[ ] Why is 1998 being set as the standard for defining a new boiler? It was over twenty years ago, so boilers installed in 1998 are hardly new anymore…
