Scots’ fuels bills may rocket

-

Sir, - Now that Holyrood has voted for a second referendum, the SNP has left several questions unanswered.

The latest (2015) data shows renewable electrical generation for Scotland was 8,889 kWh (kilowatt hours) per household, compared to 3,094 kWh for the UK, or a rough ratio of 3 to 1.

In 2014, the then Department of Energy and Climate Change admitted green policies would add £250 annually to the average UK household electricit­y bill by 2020.

If Scotland becomes independen­t then this suggests the bill for Scottish households would increase by around £750.

Last time the SNP claimed England would help to pay for Scottish renewable generation. Could they tell us plan B if England refuses? Geoff Moore. 3 Braeface Park, Alness.
