As part of the development of Mossy Hill Windfarm, a new substation is being proposed approximately 2.5km north of Lerwick on the A970, close to Ladies Drive.
The proposal will connect the consented wind farm into the new 132kV transmission system between Kergord and Gremista being constructed by SSEN Transmission. This will allow energy from the windfarm to be exported to the wider energy network.
