What happened
King Charles visited Peterhead Port on Tuesday morning.
During the visit, the King stated that workers in the renewables industry are making an "enormous difference."
Why it matters
The visit highlights the role of the workforce in Scotland's renewable energy sector, which has been reported to generate almost all of the country's electricity.
Context
Scotland's renewable energy production is primarily driven by wind, wave, and tidal sources, with onshore wind providing the largest share of capacity.
As of January 2024, the Scottish Government reported that the country generated the equivalent of 113% of its electricity consumption from renewable sources, a record high for the nation.
