Visualisation of proposed turbines at Tittynans Hill Energy Isles Wind Farm
Energy Isles Wind Farm
Energy Isles Wind Farm is an 18 turbine development located on the island of Yell, in Shetland. The project was consented by the Scottish Government in October 2023.
The project was started in 2012 by a consortium of over fifty mainly Shetland-based businesses with a strong desire to ensure that the benefits of Shetland's emerging new renewable energy sector were retained as far as possible within the isles. Statkraft was announced as the development partner in 2019, to work on the final stages of development, as well as construction and operation of the wind farm.
Energy Isles Wind Farm will see up to 18 turbines constructed, with an installed capacity of approximately 126MW – generating enough renewable electricity to power the equivalent of 157,000 homes.
Project History
Energy Isles has evolved significantly since 2012 - starting from a 63 turbine scheme to the 18 turbines consented. The design of wind farm has been informed by several consultation events, feedback from statutory bodies and details environmental assessments.
