Yes, Statkraft have committed a community benefit fund as part of the development of Mossy Hill Wind Farm. Once constructed, the project will deliver £5000 per MW installed capacity as per Scottish Government best practice guidance.

The exact amount of the fund will depend on the type of wind turbines installed, which will be finalised in the near future.

The community benefit fund will enable much local investment, and with careful management it is often possible to significantly increase the value of the fund by accessing match funding opportunities.  

Do you have ideas or suggestions for the fund? You can submit them here. 

The renewable energy sector in Scotland is now a significant contributor to the local, regional and national economy.  Should this project be consented there are very clear economic benefits to be delivered during the construction and operational phases of the project.  

In addition to the significant investment during the construction period, four local jobs are expected to be required throughout the operating period.

Our aim is to continue working with local suppliers as much as possible. Two supplier events in Lerwick and Yell saw over 100 attendees. We are involved with the Shetland Renewables Business Network and will work with Train Shetland to maximise benefits for local suppliers.

If you are a local supplier or would like to recommend a supplier for our database, you can do so here.

By using the local workforce where possible, the wind farm can have a direct and positive effect on Shetland's economy.  We are committed to working with local suppliers, and anticipate holding supplier events a in the future. 

If you are a local supplier, we'd like to hear from you so we can add you to our local supplier register. Please contact us.

Mossy Hill Wind Farm was given permission to construct 12 turbines of up to 145m to blade tip.

Mossy Hill is expected to have a maximum generation capacity of 48.8MW.

During the development of Mossy Hill, surveys were undertaken to identify areas of deep peat. The scheme has been designed to avoid these areas, as well as making use of techniques such as floating roads to avoid damage. 

We will also carry out mitigation to avoid damage to peatland and develop a Peatland Management Plan for the site. 

As the turbines at Mossy Hill will be under 150m to tip, aviation lighting is not required.
