To ask the Scottish Government what assessment it has made of how renewable electricity curtailment costs are expected to change over the next (a) five and (b) 10 years in Scotland.

The answer

As matters relating to the setting and management of constraint payments are reserved, the Scottish Government has not made its own assessment of expected future changes in curtailment costs.All regulation and legislation relating to electricity networks is reserved to the UK Government. The responsibility for the balancing the grid lies with the National Energy System Operator (NESO). More information including data on balancing costs can be found here: Balancing costs | National Energy System Operator.
