Friday, 16 June 2023 09:15

The Isle of Man Green Party's public meeting this month is focusing on wind farms.

The discussion will be led by Mike Proffitt, former CEO of the Manx Electricity Association, which is now the MUA.

He'll speak about his proposal for the construction of a wind farm and pumped hydro storage facility at Snuff the Wind above Foxdale.

The meeting will hear the plans and give the public an opportunity to question the developer on the benefits and possible consequences of the proposal.

It's taking place on Tuesday June 20 from 7-8:30pm at Columba Club on Sydney Mount in Douglas.
