The transmission network in the north of Scotland will play an important role in the transition to net zero, contributing roughly 10% of the action required to support the UK’s emissions reduction targets, despite only representing 5% of the population. In this presentation, I’ll be providing an overview of my professional journey and our latest analysis on a range of potential electricity generation and demand scenarios for our network area in the north of Scotland.
