Produced for SOWEC by independent consultancy ITPEnergised, this report lays bare the impacts of the higher transmission charges faced by Scottish offshore wind generators in comparison to projects in other parts of the UK. Using the latest National Grid ESO forecasts for Transmission Network Use of System (TNUoS) charges, the report finds that the difference in charges between the highest and lowest tariff zones is project to double from 2016/17 to 2026/27, further compounding the difficulties Scottish projects already face in lower the cost of energy, competing for CfDs, and continuing to attract investment into the sector.
