SSE PLC said Wednesday that it has approved a final investment
decision for its 443 megawatt Viking onshore wind farm project in
Shetland, Scotland.
The FTSE 100 energy group said it is now awaiting regulatory
approval for a 600 megawatt transmission connection from Shetland
to Great Britain mainland, which is critical for Viking to
proceed.
Viking will be the largest onshore wind farm in the U.K. in
terms of power output--1.9 terawatt-hour a year--and will involve
capital expenditure of 580 million pounds ($729 million), SSE
said.
