The first sentence defines "renewable energy in Scotland" as "a topic". Surely we can do better. Scanning the lead for something more useful and substantial, while still representing the breadth of the topic, I found this sentence, which I think would be more appropriate, and also more in line with what a sample of other "Renewable energy in ..." articles have as a first sentence.
I would go ahead and drop it in as a new first sentence, but if we did that, the place where that sentence is now would also need to be reworked. There's also the question of the 2005 reference from the current first sentence, which I think is no longer important, but I'm reluctant to just drop that without considering whether it is still useful somewhere in the article.

Does someone have sources for the remainder of this table? Or can we align the whole thing with the info given by scottishrenewables.com so it can be sustainably updated over time? Ed [talk] [majestic titan] 16:45, 22 April 2023 (UTC)
Article is heavy on word "capacity" (potential to deliver energy units) but lacking on actual production numbers of energy delivered, at least historically. Highly misleading. By now there should be actual production numbers. Without actual production numbers, this is just propaganda. 2600:6C48:7006:200:5C10:C716:750B:C3B2 ( talk) 00:00, 23 April 2023 (UTC)
