Shetland Aerogenerators Submits Consent Application for Neshion Energy Park

Shetland Aerogenerators Ltd has submitted a consent application to the Scottish Government for the proposed Neshion Energy Park, comprising eight wind turbines and associated infrastructure, adjacent to the Sullom Voe Oil Terminal in Shetland, Scotland. 

Comprising eight wind turbines, a battery energy storage system, substations, access tracks, and a range of habitat management areas, the Neshion Energy Park development is designed and managed on behalf of Neshion Ltd by Lerwick-based renewable energy company Shetland Aerogenerators Ltd with support from a team of expert environmental and technical specialists led by consultancy firm Ramboll. With a maximum blade tip height from ground of 200 meters, the turbines would be the tallest and most powerful built in Shetland.

The project will provide Shetland’s first Local Energy Discount Scheme to directly reduce electricity bills and address fuel poverty at an individual household level. Additionally, Neshion Ltd, the developer, has committed a minimum of 5% of the project to be available for community ownership alongside an ambition to gift a share of the development to improve the viability of any community stake.
