Orsted and IoM Government finalising proposals for site to serve UK market
Building an offshore wind farm to serve the Isle of Man isn't a feasible economic proposition.
That's from Chief Minister Alfred Cannan as the government continues discussions with Danish energy firm Orsted.
Mr Cannan has confirmed Orsted's current proposals for a wind farm off the Island's coast would mainly serve the UK market, with Treasury still needing to finalise taxation and royalties.
He says such a facility to generate energy for the Island isn't financially viable:
Island could lose GNAAS cover at end of March
MHK will not support modified draft area plan in its current form
Police retract Facebook post on vaping seizures after legal error
New Legislative Council members take up roles in government departments
