Onshore windfarm could cost around £40m

An onshore windfarm on the Island could cost around £40m.

That's according to a report from Manx Utilities, which has put forward proposals for turbines at either Earystane & Scards or Sulby & Druidale.

The cheapest option would be to install five turbines down south, which would also deliver a lower cost to customers.

Having the site in Sulby & Druidale would cost an £10m extra as additional turbines would be needed due to the area having less wind.

Manx Utilities hopes to have the windfarm completed by 2026.
