Viking was originally developed as a joint venture between SSE Renewables and Viking Energy Shetland LLP (VES) which represents the interests of the Shetland community.
In May 2019, agreement was reached that SSE Renewables would take the development forward including providing all future financing for the development and leading on construction and operations.
