Residents in the small Angus village of Wellbank are celebrating after receiving a six-figure award from the Seagreen Wind Energy Community Benefit Fund.

Over the course of last week, Monifeith High School pupils ranging from S1 to S6 took part in a host of interactive science, technology, engineering, and maths (STEM) sessions which included presentations from members of Seagreen Offshore Wind Farm and SSE.

SSE Renewables has joined forces with bp, EnBW, Fred Olsen Seawind, Ørsted, Parkwind, RWE, Scottish Power Renewables, Shell, Total Energies and Vattenfall in partnership with Carbon Trust to make future offshore wind more sustainable.

Viking Energy Wind Farm has made a £2,000 donation to Shetland Heart Screening, a chari-ty that screens 14 to 35-year-olds for undiagnosed cardiac conditions.

SSE Renewables has published a report that sets out the company’s vision to better co-exist with fisheries when building and developing offshore wind energy.

SSE Renewables and Vestas have today shared details of the companies’ plans for moving turbine components from Lerwick Port to the Viking Wind Farm site in central Mainland Shetland. Convoys will begin on Monday 6 February.
