Mooir Vannin offshore windfarm consultation deadline approaching

It closes on 18 November

There's just over a week left for you to have you say about the application to develop an offshore windfarm in Isle of Man territorial waters.

The consultation opened in August when the Council of Ministers announced they had accepted the proposal from Moor Vannin Offshore Windfarm Limited.

Once it closes on Tuesday, 18 November, all the responses will be referred to a panel of independent experts, and some contributors may have the chance to attend hearings and meetings as the proposal is examined.

To find out more information about the application and register as an interested party to be kept up to date with its progress, you can visit mima.gov.im to:
