@justkwin@toot.community Isn’t it that we generate 3x more than we use now? The problem is that it means electricity in Scotland should be really cheap, but we don’t have regional pricing. But also the poor UK grid means that Scottish power would be really expensive in London. Maybe once we get past the 25 year renewable deals.
