Letters / Bring it on SSE
Viking wind farm? With regard to SSE’s wish if to go ahead on their own, so be it, just let them try.
However do not be bounced into risking trust funds on this speculative wind farm venture.
After the judicial review and public inquiry is concluded, a couple of years hence. Then only if ROC subsidiaries are still available, if the interconnector is financed and built, if Scotland is still connected to the UK grid, if Shetland is still part of a maybe independent Scotland, then bring it on SSE.
Sixty plus turbines within 2K of residencies. Sixty plus legal actions with appeals going on for years, all the way to the Supreme Court and beyond into Europe.
Good luck SSE I will be waiting for you with about 3,000 plus others at a conservative estimate, I hope you have bomb proof investors and bankers…
