District heating presents a viable, cost-efficient alternative to other heat sources available in Shetland. You can see this on the comparison chart of costs below - date against pence per kWh cost. With night storage heaters you have to think a day ahead about what heat you will require and the forecast can often be wrong. If you have an oil fired or solid fuel boiler you have to make sure you don't run out of fuel. With other forms of heating you need to heat water and may have to decide ahead when you will want it so it's there.

That's us coming back up now folks so hopefully you shouldn't have experienced too much of a loss of supply. We had three short power cuts around 7pm which caused some problems on our control side. Hopefully sorted now.
