The Sullom Voe Terminal has received planning permission for the installation of two wind turbines, each with a height of 149.9 meters and a power output of 4.8MW. This approval follows the resolution of objections related to marine radar interference, which involved the installation of additional radar equipment to mitigate impacts on navigational safety.
EnQuest, the terminal's operator, is transitioning from a 100MW gas-fired power station to renewable energy sources, including hydrogen production. The harbor authority's objection has been withdrawn upon securing mitigation measures, enabling the turbines to commence operations once the radar system is operational. Additional plans for more turbines at the site are under consideration.
