Scotland could generate £2bn annually by exporting electriicty

According to a report by think-tank Reform Scotland the country could generate £2bn annually by exporting electricity and becoming a world leader in new energy technology if energy policy was fully devolved from Westminster. The report, Powering Scotland, said energy powers should be formally devolved to Holyrood so that the Scottish Government can formulate a policy that truly meets the country’s needs.

"This would increase Scottish exports by £2 billion per annum, equivalent to around 17% of manufacturing exports to the rest of the UK".
