Shetland, Scotland, UK - Two critical transformers arrive at Shetland Island's wind farm construction site.

According to SSE Renewables, police escorted transportation of a convoy of two grid transformers between the Port of Lerwick and the Viking Energy Wind Farm (VEWF) construction site.

The transformers will make up part of the new substation. Two remaining transformers are expected to be delivered to the construction site in early August.

"These transformers are critical items for the substation operation. Due to their scale, they require a police escort to move them from Lerwick Port on to site.", said Aaron Priest, Stakeholder Manager for VEWF.
