To ask the Scottish Government what the total cost has been to date of payments to generators in Scotland under the Renewables Obligation.
Payments to generators are made by licensed electricity suppliers through the purchase of renewable obligation certificates (ROCs). While the published buy out price acts as a ceiling, the actual price paid for certificates is a matter for negotiation between the supplier and the generator and therefore the Scottish Government does not hold that data.
