Sustainable Shetland is a campaign group formed in response to a proposal for a large scale 103 turbine wind farm in Shetland. We believe these large industrial projects are damaging to our environment. We believe that the Viking Energy wind farm endangers Shetland Community Funds, project costs are underestimated and project income grossly over stated.

We believe that the Viking Energy proposals are everything we do not need in Shetland: they are financially risky and potentially damaging to the Shetland environment.

We want to see sustainable renewable energy projects in Shetland which are fit for scale and fit for purpose, and provide real community benefit.

We are not an "anti windfarm" campaign. However we are strongly opposed to the Viking wind farm proposal. Other projects will be considered on their own merits.

We are working on updating this web site to reflect new information as a result of planning consent for the Viking windfarm, so at the moment some information may refer to earlier stages of the Viking project. We appreciate your patience as we work on updates to this site.
