Scots face eye-watering energy bills for years to come due to windfall taxes and the shift to green energy, the boss of one of Europe’s biggest oil companies claimed.
Anders Opedal, chief exec of Norwegian energy giant Equinor, warned high bills were here to stay, partly blaming investment by firms in renewables.
But it comes after Opedal’s Equinor - which is planning the controversial Rosebank oil field off Shetland - raked in £20billion in profits in the space of just three months last year.
