- lumisota 9y agoWhile it is owned by Norway's state oil company, it supplies the UK National Grid and receives UK government subsidies.

For example the Hinkley Point C power station is subsidised by the UK but constructed, operated and will send profit (if any) to the French state-owned EDF. Energy is a reserved area and not within the remit of the Scottish Parliament.
