PLANS to move the location of two proposed concrete batching plants for the Viking Energy wind farm construction have been met with objections from local community councils.
Existing consent for the wind farm includes three batching plants to produce concrete, but the developer wants to move their locations closer to the centre of the construction site in Shetland’s central mainland.

It says in planning applications for two revised locations that this will “result in efficiency gains from a construction point of view”.
The developments would include the creation of a 100m x 80m compacted stone platform and the siting of concrete batching plant and associated facilities.
MORE than 60 of the 100 people working on the Viking Energy wind farm project at the end of October were local to Shetland, according to its developers.

The team behind the projects – a collaboration between SSEN Transmission, SSE Renewables and Viking Energy Wind Farm – said that half of the 60-strong workforce for mainland based contractor RJ McLeod were people local to Shetland.
“To date, 15 local contracting businesses, a further 18 local supply companies and numerous local accommodation providers have been directly engaged by RJ McLeod in their delivery of the main construction contract,” the newsletter said.
There have been recent calls for all travelling workforce to be tested for coronavirus, something which is not in place.
