Islands Growth Deal

The Islands Centre for Net Zero Shetland (previously known as the Shetland Clean Energy Project) is an integral part of the overarching Islands Centre for Net Zero. ICNZ Shetland set out Shetland's particular ambition for transforming energy use by considering the whole energy system.

Shetland lies in the windiest marine region in the UK and making the most of its renewable resource within the whole energy system will provide the clean affordable energy needed to reduce our carbon emissions and provide opportunities for business development and skilled islands-based employment.

ICNZ Shetland will be supported with investment of up to £5million as part of the £16.5m funding for the Islands Centre for Net Zero project.
