This gist being ...

> By the end of this decade, the UK Government ... aims for every home in the country to be powered by offshore wind and has set a 50GW offshore wind connections target by the early 2030s. 

> **Much of the new offshore and onshore wind is in or around Scotland, which produces more energy than it uses. The existing electricity network does not have enough capacity to transmit all the additional clean, green energy from where it’s produced to where it’s needed**, so projects like Western Link 2 are needed to help guarantee security of energy supplies and make the network more resilient.
