Shetland – clean energy islands

Harnessing the power of the wind and the seas around Shetland to generate renewable energy offers huge potential for the islands to lead the way in clean energy innovation. Much of this renewable energy could be used to fuel the ambitious plans being pursued by the ORION Clean Energy Project. As a collaboration between Shetland Islands Council, Net Zero Technology Centre, Highlands and Islands Enterprise, the University of Strathclyde, and industry partners, ORION aims to make Shetland a world leading clean energy island, and deliver innovative technologies as well as 1,000 energy sector jobs.
