They seem to be making good progress with environmental reports etc. Of course it still has to go through planning but will no doubt be vital strategic infrastructure for the island. https://www.manxutilities.im/energy-transition/wind/cair-vie-onshore-windfarm-project/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has to be presented to Tynwald at the November sitting, I believe? So therefore there will be precious little time to collate, analyse and implement any possible opinion and input from the Great Unwashed. Which might suggest that said consultation is but tinsel dressing. 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asitis Posted Monday at 04:40 PM Share Posted Monday at 04:40 PM This will be exactly like the Ballasalla bypass consultation. The vital bypass and oh I almost forgot the 380 houses for Dandara, were championed by the village idiot. The meeting concluded with a number of residents in opposition that the bypass was not the driver the houses were, of course they were ignored. Guess what there is 380 houses a nice access road and no bypass. Done deal I won't waste my time again. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't this up construction costs significantly? Not if you use retired wind turbine blades to stop the erosion (apologies AT for going back on an old comment) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'll have a couple of weeks to do it before Tynwald meets in November. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amadeus Posted Tuesday at 02:05 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 02:05 PM In council chamber until 7pm. Insane idea to put wind turbines on the island and I bet you £100 it will go over budget, not result in lower leccy prices and give a nasty surprise long term.

Non-Believer Posted Tuesday at 02:19 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 02:19 PM Lower electricity prices are certainly no part of the equation. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cambon Posted Tuesday at 03:37 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 03:37 PM 7 minutes ago, Moghrey Mie said: Nobody has ever promised that electricity charges will reduce as a result of the wind farm. They will go up in the long term. Prices doubled due to the Ukraine fiasco. Gas prices came down as quickly as they went up and are now at historic lows, lower than they were when the gas power station was commissioned and electricity was 8P per unit. I think they will reduce the price slightly if the turbines go up and pretend it is due to free wind. In reality, MU are currently making money hand over fist with the ridiculously high current price. Earystane is the wrong windfarm in the wrong place. A complete waste of time and money. There are better, more open brown field sites that make far more sense. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amadeus Posted Tuesday at 03:46 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 03:46 PM Lower leccy cost is the only reason this could be even remotely considered and if that’s not happening then this needs to be shut down fast. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
