It’s one of those ones I see mentioned a lot but nobody ever really explains why. Surely if Scotland is producing all this electricity it can’t be punishing at the same time?

Im sure we still use power from other sources too though. We also send enough power to England every day to power millions of their homes and businesses too. So does Wales and NI but not as much as from here. There’s a website you can see where it all comes and goes from I forget what it is just now.

There seems to be no charges for any country anywhere else except Scotland and that’s for connecting to our own grid. Pretty sure the nuclear plants/old coal plants are all charged too but at different rates from the renewables sector. I think the problem is that a power plant is a single source and renewables is dozens of sources. As the grid is almost organic (with all the different sources generating at different times etc) we have frequent situations where the renewables input has to be throttled and the grid management has to move/change the dynamics of the grid to make sure there’s no overload/brown out scenarios. The cost management is added on. In Scotland the grid is owned by SSE and Scottish Power but operated by the overarching National Grid group. Personally I would like to see some change where the Scottish Government Bank took a stake in the Grid or SSE/SP. In a world where Scotland has seen privatisation lead to other countries operating and making money from the tax payer (eg. abellio/Dutch rail) It would be a turn up for the books if the Scotland bank was to build a stake in Scottish Power by buying shares in Spain’s Iberdrola!

But I do urge you and every other pro-indy diehard to consider again your use of slavery-era rhetoric. This article is thought provoking.
