Quite right.
Scotland produces 1/3rd of UK’s energy and has the highest energy costs.
#ZonalPricing
A huge wind farm planned off the north coast of Scotland will not be built unless "unfair" transmission charges are overhauled, the developer has warned.
Right now, despite producing twice as much renewable electricity as is consumed in Scotland, Scottish Industry is paying electricity prices based on the price of burning gas in England.
