Several sites in Shetland have been investigated to assess their suitability for the Northern Lights project
As many as 500 jobs are expected to be created through a new scheme to tackle fuel poverty in the northern and Western Isles.
The Northern Lights project aims to create a new small-scale oil terminal to deliver fuel products to the region, which has some of the worst affected areas in Scotland for the issue.
Evolve Trading and Investment (ETI) said 200 jobs are expected to be created through the plant’s construction and “project requirements”, with a further 300 indirectly through the creation of a new supply chain to support the plant and export the technology.
