The Tingwall, Whiteness and Weisdale Community Council has called for an expanded visual impact assessment for Statkraft's proposed ammonia plant near Lerwick, emphasizing the need to evaluate cumulative effects of multiple energy developments in Shetland. They expressed concerns about the industrialization of the landscape and suggested that the assessment should cover a broader area, including specific viewpoints like the Shetland Golf Club and the A970 road. The plant, expected to start operations in 2029, aims to produce 150 tonnes of green ammonia daily and may raise concerns about potential odors.
