I doubt that. Hydro doesn't seem very exportable.
hydro-tech should be though and Scotland could be well placed to attract investment in that (if only we weren't losing so many scientists to the EU)
- ggm 4y agoScotland exported 19Twh of electricity to England in 2021, which was about 30% of its generating capacity. It represented around 10% of english electricity power needs. It's on a growth trend, the wind farm on dogger bank may alter the balance.
- mvc 4y ago> Scotland exported 19Twh of electricity to England in 2021, which was about 30% of its generating capacity. True but the rate it gets for that electricity is lower than the rate recieved by power companies operating in the south. This is because there is an operating cost of maintaining the network that allows the energy to flow to the point of use. The cost of getting it to Europe would be even greater. http://www.scottishenergynews.com/higher-connection-charges-in-scotland-than-ruk-are-no-barrier-to-electricity-generators-says-national-grid-chief/ http://www.scottishenergynews.com/higher-connection-charges-...
