Logan Black, Project Manager for Lewis Wind Power commented:
“We are delighted to see confirmation from Ofgem that the interconnector will go ahead to link the Western Isles to the mainland.
“A lot of work has been done locally to get to this stage and we will continue our work to build Stornoway wind farm as soon as possible.
“The interconnector, and in turn, Stornoway wind farm will bring huge benefits to the local community, Scotland’s net zero ambitions and the UK’s energy security.”
