Shetland in Bonnie Scotland: Thousands of Residents Still Without Power
Shetland: Thousands of Residents Still Without Power
Shetland hailed for ‘resilience’ as thousands without power still
BBC News 16 DEC 2022.
Power lines brought down by heavy snow in Shetland
Scottish and Southern Electricity Networks (SSEN) Distribution is working to reconnect over 2,000 homes in the region as the cold weather continues to bite.
Shetland has been hailed as a “resilient community” after heavy snow left thousands without power amid freezing temperatures.
Some 2,800 homes were left without power when snow and ice brought down electricity lines earlier this week, prompting the Scottish Government to declare a major incident.
Scottish and Southern Electricity Networks (SSEN) is still working to reconnect power but warned that some may be in the dark until the end of the week.
“But the real concern comes for somebody that we don’t know about that may be in trouble relating to this.
“There has been a huge amount of work done, but it’s really important for the rest of Scotland to know how resilient the people of Shetland are at looking after each other. We’re doing everything we can to make sure nobody is left out.”
More snow could hit the island over the next 24 hours, with a yellow weather warning still in force.
Police Scotland has also reported that roads in Shetland are still being impacted by the weather, with the majority of side roads remaining “impassable”.
