People of Peel urged to share their thoughts on windfarm plans

More public drop-in sessions being held this week

Another drop-in session will take place today (21 October) for people who want to share their thoughts about a new windfarm.

Manx Utilities is planning to build the ‘Cair Vie Wind Project’ at Earystane.

It would include four turbines which could generate more than a quarter of the Island’s electricity needs.

The session will take place between 2pm and 7pm at Peel Centenary Centre.

There will be further sessions held on:

• 22 October: Douglas City Hall – 2pm to 7pm
• 23 October: Morton Hall Castletown – 2pm to 7pm
• 25 October: Ramsey Courthouse – 2pm to 7pm
• 26 October: Peel Centenary Centre – 12pm to 4pm
• 27 October: Ramsey Courthouse – 12pm to 4pm

MU says the Isle of Man has some of the highest average wind speeds in Europe.
