This was an 8% decrease from the previous year’s figures which are highlighted later in the report. A reduction across all areas including indoor activities, outdoor activities and non-sporting events has contributed to the decrease in both income and admissions. Factors affecting the figures include fewer events being held, the pool closure during December and January, closure of the athletics track for maintenance and the first year of reporting zero income Shetland’s three Commonwealth Games competitors who were joint winners of the and admissions for the campsite 2014 Shetland Sports Awards Sportsperson of the Year award.

Shetland’s most important industries are fishing, aquaculture, agriculture and oil and gas, though many are also employed in construction and transport. Economic activity and wages are high in Shetland, but living costs are also higher than the Scottish average and some employers struggle to fill positions. However, wages are lower in Yell, Unst and Fetlar and living costs are higher than the Shetland average. The economic impact of the proposed Energy Isles Wind Farm has been assessed based on the experience of what has happened at other onshore wind farms, including case studies of other onshore wind developments in Scotland, and analysis of the local economy. The economic analysis indicates that during the development and construction phase the proposed development is expected to contribute: • £25.5 million and 223 job years in Shetland; and • £87.9 million and 795 job years in Scotland (figures referring to Scotland include the impact arising in Shetland) During each year the operation and maintenance of the proposed development could contribute: • £0.6 million and 5 jobs in Shetland; and • £1.4 million and 12 jobs in Scotland.
