£522m wind farm on show
A SERIES of exhibitions will begin today to outline the potential impact of a 150-turbine wind farm in Shetland that could generate millions of pounds for the island economy.
Viking Energy is holding six public meetings, starting at Aith Community Hall, to discuss the 522 million project ahead of the submission of a planning application.
Viking is a partnership between a company set up by Shetland Islands Council to represent the interests of islanders in large-scale wind farm developments and SSE Viking, a subsidiary of energy giant Scottish and Southern Energy.
It is hoped the development could bring in a windfall of 25-30 million a year for Shetland.
