Never realised just how much diversity of power generation there is on my doorstep in Lanarkshire. I live basically in the middle of nowhere, this is not a dense population centre although several of the sites are dedicated to industrial processes.

Great presentation of this data, i just lost 15 mins satisfying curiosity. Thanks :-)

I was in Dumfries/Ayrshire a few weeks ago. Came up from Manchester; saw so many wind farms on the way and during our visit, most of them after crossing the border.

The Conservative government banned new onshore wind in England for some years, hence the difference. There's now plenty of wind power in Scotland and a shortage of transmission capacity.
