Scotland renewables pipeline grows by 1GW

Scotland has seen the largest increase in renewable pipeline capacity in the past year of all regions across Great Britain, according to Cornwall Insight s renewables pipeline tracker. Using regions defined by distribution network operator (DNO) service areas and accounting for projects due to connect to the transmission network, central and southern Scotland and eastern England have seen the largest increase with 1003MW and 800MW of additional pipeline capacity added, respectively. The tracker found most regions across Great Britain showed a net increase in total pipeline capacity between April 2020 and March 2021. London was the only region to see a small net decrease in pipeline capacity of 5MW since the April 2020 report, with 26MW of energy from waste (EfW) incineration leaving the pipeline.

Scotland s green future at risk from discriminatory grid charges to power firms

ELECTRICITY transmission charges are acting as a barrier for investment in green energy projects in Scotland and will hit the transition to a low carbon economy, experts have warned. A new analysis by Scottish and Southern Electricity Networks Transmission, which is responsible for the network for the north of Scotland calls for reform of the current charging regime which means that renewable generators in Scotland pay significantly higher costs to connect their electricity to the National Grid than those in other parts of Great Britain. There are concerns that the current charging system discriminates against energy operations in Scotland as the calculations are linked to their distance from big population areas.

93% of stakeholders back UK grid charging reform

Over 90% of stakeholders support reform of the current transmission charging regime to support the UK’s legally binding net zero emissions target, according to a survey by SSEN Transmission. The company said the existing regime currently results in Scottish generators paying a higher cost for use of the transmission network compared to other areas in the UK. For example, while a wind farm in the north of Scotland pays £5.50 per unit of energy, an equivalent wind farm in Wales will get paid £2.80 per unit, it said. SSEN Transmission said that following the publication of a Transmission Network Use of System (TNUoS) charges discussion paper earlier this year, it has published a follow up summary report this week which analyses and outlines the feedback received from stakeholders on the paper’s findings.
