Statkraft has submitted revised plans for the Mossy Hill wind farm near Lerwick, featuring eight turbines at a height of 145 metres, the same as previously approved. The project, originally consented in 2019 for twelve turbines, was acquired from Peel Energy in 2023, prompting a design review to reduce the number of turbines.

The application will be assessed by Shetland Islands Council due to its sub-50MW capacity. Changes to access tracks and infrastructure are included, and a substation has already received planning approval. Statkraft is also considering revisions for the Beaw Field project and proposing ammonia plants at two locations.
