That’s why I could never get my head around the EPC thing DFE cocked up (and hope people have forgotten about). At least DEFA had the right idea (but again cocked up). There’s a theme so I wonder what will happen with this (I predict a cock up). What was the epc again? Was this the one Alfs new squeeze hurriedly announced?

(as if they haven't got enough to do already) Guess who the DOI Minister is? CM Cannan, after he got rid of Chris Thomas. Still it’s only taxpayers money. I thought the island is awash with experts/advisers/offshore/onshore wind advisors, not to mention solar. You only have to read IOMNP Facebook to see all these expert’s postings. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So what does the Energy Policy Team at DEFA do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(as if they haven't got enough to do already) Why not just someone like a MHK call the company installing offshore windfarms in the Irish sea and ask how much it would cost to put in an extra 10 for the IOM?

Yes I thought ORSTED (formerly DONG ENERGY) already had an option to build an offshore wind farm back in 2014 but it's not in IOM waters. https://www.gov.im/about-the-government/departments/infrastructure/harbours-information/territorial-seas/proposed-developments-in-uk-waters-which-may-impact-on-isle-of-man/walney-extension-offshore-wind-farm/ Edited August 14, 2023 by Moghrey Mie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
