3 FAQs about [Microgrids projects Isle of Man]
Could a windfarm power the Isle of Man?
The Earystane location is one of the best sites in the Isle of Man in terms of generating electricity from wind with anticipated wind speeds in excess of 10m/s. This would mean that a windfarm at the site could potentially deliver more than one quarter of the Island’s annual demand.
Can we build more than the Isle of Man's first offshore wind farm?
Together we can build more than the Isle of Man’s first offshore wind farm – we can lay the foundation for lasting economic investment, develop skills, create jobs, and protect and enhance the marine environment.
Could a windfarm deliver more than a quarter of the island's demand?
This would mean that a windfarm at the site could potentially deliver more than one quarter of the Island’s annual demand. Wind speed surveys have been undertaken over the last 12 months, with average wind speeds for the site now confirmed at >10.5m/s.
