Ørsted exploring options for Manx power connection
Renewable energy company Ørsted says it hopes Manx residents will be 'proud' of a wind farm which it hopes to develop off of the Island's east coast.
The Mooir Vannin site will sit between 6-12 miles off the shore, within the Isle of Man's territorial waters.
Meanwhile, the company is exploring two options around bringing the power generated to the Island - either through a direct cable from the wind farm or connecting it to the UK grid, with the option for the Island to then buy the power.
Jamie Baldwin is the project director:
This week Ørsted announced that it expects the Island to benefit from £2bn through taxation, seabed rental, and community funds over the 35-year lifespan of the wind farm.
