The weather in Shetland has been so unusual with little wind, a fair bit of snow and colder than nomal temperatures. We've therefore had difficulty powering the wind turbines at the Glasshouses in Tingwall. Keith, who is heading up the installation team, kept the illumination going in the first days of insufficient wind by using our back-up generators, then finally an electrical fault a few days before Christmas forced us to shut it down for the sake of health and safety. We're grateful to Nayan and Duncan who came up specially to Shetland after Christmas to repair the fault. Happily on 29th December we turned the illumination on again. Huge apologies to anyone who didn't hear the announcement on Radio Shetland and went to see the illumination during the week it was shut down.
