LONDON - England is set to miss its target
to generate 10 percent of its power from renewable sources, such as wind, the
British Wind Energy Association (BWEA) said on Monday.
BWEA said that on average across England only 50 percent of the
renewable electricity generation would be met, with some regions such as the
South West failing to reach even a third.
"In England we need to think carefully on how to use the lessons learned
from 2010, as we attempt to reach the binding EU wide 2020 targets," Maria
McCaffery, BWEA Chief Executive said in a statement.
