With 103 turbines, Viking is one of the UK's largest onshore wind farms.
After more than 15 years in development and with 103 wind turbines now installed, Viking has an installed capacity of 443MW.
Once complete in 2024, and due to the exceptional wind conditions in the Shetland Isles, Viking will become the UK's largest onshore wind farm in terms of electricity output^.
SSE Renewbles (SSER) became the sole owners of the Viking development in 2019, with the project having originally been developed as a joint venture with the Shetland community.
The community maintains representation on the Viking Management Board and will see an annual return throughout the operational lifespan of the wind farm. In addition, the Shetland community will also receive a community benefit fund of around £2.2m annually during the operational phase.
