UK government pays for energy projects in Scotland to help Scottish economy.
Scotland makes up 7% of UK economy.
Scotland claims 100% ownership after independence.
Genius SNP.

The big wind projects aren't "owned" by the UK/Scottish governments, they are private* assets built under a government license. Most likely an independent Scotland would continue to license these wind farms and the energy trade with the rest of the UK would continue under very similar terms.
* Actually, many of them are owned by non-UK governments.

Isn't it the other way around? British gov sells licenses for windparks for billions. It then guarantees electricity price to a certain degree. This would be presumably paid by the Scottish gov.
