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. ๐ค
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.
