Shetland renewable connections consultation open until 25th June

SSEN Transmission thanked everyone who took the time to attend their virtual consultation events last week and is encouraging anyone still interested in sharing their feedback to visit the online portal to share their comments by 25 June.

The virtual consultation presented plans to provide connections for three new renewable electricity generators in Shetland; Energy Isles and Beaw Field Wind Farms located on Yell; and Mossy Hill Wind Farm located west of Lerwick.

Commenting on the events, Steven McMillan Project Manager, said:

“We would like to thank everyone who provided their feedback during our consultation events, these comments will be essential in the next stage of the project’s development.

“As a responsible developer, we are keen to continue to work closely with the local community to identify onshore and offshore routes for these new connections.  So, we encourage anyone who might be interested in our proposals to visit the webpage, to view our plans and share their feedback.”

If you are unable to access the virtual consultations platform and would like to find out more about the proposals please contact Community Liaison Manager, Sharon Powell at Sharon.powell@sse.com
