WELCOME

At Neshion Ltd, we are continuing to work closely with local communities and stakeholders to refine our proposals, ensuring they reflect local priorities, support climate action, and contribute positively to the local economy. The project has made significant progress, and we are now focused on shaping the final plans in response to the valuable feedback received so far.

IN SHETLAND

Neshion Energy Park is a proposed development situated to the east of the Sullom Voe Oil Terminal and the Shetland Gas Plant in the North Mainland of Shetland, Scotland. Covering approximately 300 hectares of development area, the site is strategically positioned within an area that will play a central role in Shetland’s transition from fossil fuels to clean energy technologies. By focusing energy developments in and around this existing industrial hub, the project aims to minimize the impact of the transition on other parts of the Isles, making it a strategic and desirable choice for Shetland’s future.

BY SHETLAND

Neshion Ltd is a local joint venture established to develop Neshion Energy Park. The development is being led by local company Shetland Aerogenerators Ltd (SAL). Founded in 1992 and based in Lerwick, SAL has over 25 years of experience in the energy industry. The company owns and operates Burradale Windfarm and Luggie’s Knowe Windfarm, demonstrating its expertise in renewable energy projects.

FOR SHETLAND

We want to ensure that this project will be of maximum possible value to the community, while also making a serious contribution to Shetland’s energy future and the country’s energy transition. Our goal is to align the positive outcomes from the project with local needs and aspirations by creating the package of benefits with input from the community. Delivering on these aspirations and those of the Scottish government and Shetland Islands Council can help us become a standard bearer for projects across Scotland.

Sullom Voe
Development Framework

NEP is a member of the Sullom Voe Development Framework working group. The Sullom Voe Development Framework seeks to collaboratively develop a spatial planning approach to energy development in the Sullom Voe area.

A development framework is a high-level spatial plan which guides development across an area and sets out a shared vision and principles. The process will facilitate coordination between developers, providing clarity on land use while identifying wider benefits for the environment and communities.
