Euan Mearns' blog also has some interesting analysis of Scottish power
generation. Much of it is exported to England. The interconnect
appears to be able to carry a maximum of 3.5GW.

If the Scottish grid shuts down (say due to a nuclear station suddenly
going offline, causing thr erest of the grip to trip), a "black start"
using power imported from England to get it back up and running will
take 24 plus hours (!)

The takeaway seems to be that when Longannet closes at the end of the
month. the Scots had better get out their paraffin stoves and candles
and pray the wind blows.
