REvision 2020 is a project funded by the Government Office for the South West (GOSW) in partnership with the South West Regional Assembly (SWRA). It takes forward the REvision 2010 target setting report for renewable electricity published in 2004. REvision 2020 extends the existing body of work by looking to establish targets for renewable electricity to 2020 and adding targets for renewable heat for 2010 and 2020 and a target for on-site generation within new development.

The outcomes of REvision 2020 will be considered for incorporation within the Regional Spatial Strategy (RSS). The project therefore also proposes a range of planning policies to support the implementation of these targets.
