THE SCALE of construction which would be involved in future energy projects in Shetland could potentially necessitate temporary workers’ accommodation like barges and camps, a meeting has heard. Shetland Islands Council (SIC) development director Neil Grant said the projects lined up are on a “really, really big scale”. Energy giant SSEN previously pledged to leave “legacy housing” from construction projects, with a commitment to build more than 1,000 homes in the north of Scotland. The scale of future energy projects was laid bare at a public engagement event in Lerwick last week. A key driver is a planned second HVDC subsea cable, which would facilitate projects like more offshore and onshore wind.
