What’s with the quotes around “exported”? Excess power is exported, which happens to be one way to manage it, reducing the need for storage.

Because Scotland isn't its own grid, it's on the UK national grid, it was to differentiate that from HVDC export.

Nitpick: it's the GB national grid, Ireland has an all-island grid which is separate.
