Project TransmiT

As an amendment to motion S4M-02623 in the name of Fergus Ewing (Project TransmiT), leave out from “opposes” to end and insert "notes the current approach taken by Ofgem following its extensive consultation under Project TransmiT; recognises Ofgem’s concerns that the introduction of a flat rate of charging for all generators would lead to an increase in fuel poverty for the most vulnerable; further recognises concerns that the development of wind energy in the Western Isles, Orkney and Shetland will depend on having affordable transmission charges, and urges Ofgem to continue to engage with stakeholders to find a satisfactory solution to the issue of transmission charging."
