Abstract
Scotland has been a forerunner in developing low carbon energy capacity, with the outcomes
of the latest Scotwind offshore leasing rounds putting our relatively small nation on track to
deliver a relatively large share of UK and European renewable wind energy. However, given
the likely high absolute and relative costs of transmitting electricity generated in relatively
remote Scottish North Sea offshore wind farm sites to the GB grid, it is essential to exploit
opportunities to reduce curtailment and maximise productive economic output from
currently invested and planned offshore wind assets.
