It includes 59 remote island communities supplied and interconnected through 110 subsea cables with the combined length of 454km. We currently own and operate seven Distributed Embedded Generation (DEG) & 1 Thermal Embedded Generation (TEM), sites which provide continuity of services if the cables supplying the islands are on outage or have faulted TEM sites currently operate 24/7 as the main source of power for Shetland but is scheduled to be a standby site in the future. Currently diesel-powered units were established in the 1950’s before the use of subsea cables when on outage and following faults, especially to island communities.
