Scottish onshore wind and the post-2030 connections challenge – Morton Fraser McRoberts

Under the Clean Power Action Plan and the connections reform that sits beneath it, only around 700 MW of additional Scottish onshore wind is permitted to connect between 2031 and 2035. Set against more than 10 GW already operating, and a consented pipeline several times larger, in practical terms this means that, come 2030, we face what has been described by Aurora as a “de-facto ban on Scottish onshore wind”.  https://www.mfmac.com/insights/energy-renewables/scottish-onshore-wind-and-the-post-2030-connections-challenge/?fbclid=IwY2xjawTVPnNwZG9mAWV4dG4DYWVtAjExAHNydGMGYXBwX2lkEDIyMjAzOTE3ODgyMDA4OTIAAR7SXuZZ68OPeD9fkaa1zcpDyZJtdtHjaUP8oLqVGdJICoAuKWhPWchpffpUdw_aem_paai_N_07d4n5MQu0OS8-Q
