    @BashStKid Yes, I’d argue that extra transmission capacity is a legacy from when BESS was less practical (only a few years ago!)

    Also I think that extra capacity to transmit from Scotland further South is as much about being able to export it to mainland Europe as it is to power England. Norway doesn’t need it, but if we can oversupply and get it to the Humber more effectively, then it can go to Denmark, Germany.

    @teamonkey At which point folks in Scotland should be asking who’s profiting from those exports, folks in Scotland, or some private equity group in Monaco?

    @BashStKid People in Scotland should already be asking why their power bills are paying for gas turn-up in the South of England.
