How will the Isle of Man generate electricity?

Plans to generate about 75% of the Isle of Man's electricity through solar and on-shore wind projects have been backed by the Council of Ministers. Manx Utilities (MU) will look to install solar panels on public car parks and government buildings. Wind turbines could also be built on public land to create 30MW of electricity by 2026.

Could a government-funded wind farm be on the Isle of Man?

Plans have been outlined for a government-funded onshore wind farm on the Isle of Man. Two possible sites have been identified as part of a drive to produce 75% of Manx electricity through solar and onshore wind by 2026. Manx Utilities was tasked with progressing the plans by Tynwald in February.

Does the Isle of Man need a new interconnector?

Balancing the Isle of Man’s electricity network requires stabilising power; this cannot be provided from sources which are reliant on the weather to produce electricity as these sources cannot be guaranteed at all times. In all scenarios the most cost-effective solution of providing this stabilising power is a new interconnector to the UK.

How much electricity does the Isle of Man need?

While average electricity demand on the Isle of Man stands at 40MW, it can peak at 75MW during the winter and drop at night during summer to 25MW. MU chairman Tim Johnston said "detailed work" to determine the best approach to increase renewable energy was underway.

Could the Isle of Man re-import electricity from an offshore wind farm?

With interconnectors the Isle of Man could re-import electricity generated from an offshore wind farm, allowing GB to manage the balancing. This would likely result in much lower costs to consumers. CFDs are not currently open to the Isle of Man as it is not part of the UK.
