Letters / Turbines shrinking
On the official Viking Energy website it clearly stated that the turbines will be 145 metres high to the blade tip, however in June 2015 on the same website this has suddenly been reduced to 132 metres.
In your article on the Luggie’s Knowe turbine (Erecting Shetland’s highest turbine yet; SN, 01/08/15) its height is given at 121 metres and is, reportedly, only four metres less than VE turbines making them now 125 metres?
At the present rate of shrinkage one can only hope they suffer the same fate as the fabled oozlum bird.
