Scotland has world’s greatest wind capacity per head of population in the World but uses it to benefit England

The above table is not clearly linked to its source. I’ve asked and will update when I get it.

As you are aware, the above is doing nothing for our energy bills, the highest in the UK and in Europe so what’s happening to the electricity it’s producing?

Here’s the story:

The UK Energy Minister, above, appeared to claim credit for the approval of the massive 300 plus turbine, 4.1GW, windfarm off the Scottish coast near Fife and East Lothian:

Even the Scotsman knew who had actually approved it:

One of world’s biggest wind farms with 307 turbines approved near Edinburgh by SNP ministers

though they are hoping it will kill lots of seabirds.

Milliband and his boy from Scotland, below, clearly think this new project will help with their unimpressive achievement:

50%? Is that all?

How is the SNP doing?

What’s happening to the surplus there?

In 2024, Scotland exported a net total of 19.7 terawatt hours (TWh) of electricity to the rest of the UK, with the majority going to England. This equates to approximately 1.64 TWh per month. These figures come from Scottish Government statistics, which note that Scotland exported 21.0 TWh and imported 1.3 TWh in 2024, resulting in the net export value. The indicative wholesale value of these net exports was around £1.5 billion.
