Can't see anything on the Summerhill nursing/residential home. Hopefully they are included in the nurses home development. Got to be cheaper and more efficient if they are in the original construction. They have to be included on all new builds but rules don't extend to the government.

Happier diner Posted June 12 Share Posted June 12 19 hours ago, Andy Onchan said: Yes. They're dragging their feet on the roll out of smart meters and haven't yet, as far as I know, started on the solar panel installations on any of the public estates. Both of which are slated to be complete by 2026, a year and a half away. What makes you say that? Seems they are bang on plan https://www.manxradio.com/news/isle-of-man-news/more-than-a-quarter-of-manx-households-now-have-smart-meters/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That doesn't make any sense at all. The power station still has to be paid for whatever. Surely having to buy wind farms and solar panels just increases the debt burden on the MUA. I get that it screws up the plan they had to pay off the debt, but they still have to pay it off don't they? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, but they are increasing the debt for you to pay, to install solar power on governments building so that they can reduce the amount of the debt they pay whilst charging you more.

A) Think Project Promenade! & B) there's sure to be more urgent & important things that will have gone over budget between now and 2026 that the allocated funding will be diverted to.
