To ask the Scottish Executive what discussions it has had with Scottish and Southern Energy plc about the ringing of the north of Scotland with an undersea power cable to link producers with urban markets.
Answer
The regulation of the electricity transmission network is a reserved matter and the location, size and cost of network upgrades are matters for the owners of the network in conjunction with the regulator, Ofgem. However, we are in regular contact with the UK Government, the regulator and the industry about the upgrades that will be necessary to the electricity network to ensure that Scotland’s renewable resource is fully realised.
