The problem Scotland has is that for reasons I wont go into Wind Farms are proliferating more and more when the local demand has already been exceeded. The West Coast feeder does export some down south but it had a checkered history of reliablity. I've not heard anything about it for a while. There are now plans for East Coast feeders and hopefully they will be more reliable.Hopefully as more battery storage comes on line the constraint payments may reduce. π€
So, maybe in the future the constraint payments will go down but I doubt the bills will. Wind Farm prices per KWh are just the same as conventional generation prices.
