MHK has query about planned wind farm

How often would a proposed new windfarm get the wrong sort of wind?

That's the question on the mind of Arbory, Castletown and Malew MHK Jason Moorhouse, who'll quiz Manx Utilities chair John Wannenberg in the House of Keys tomorrow.

Mr Moorhouse wants to know how many times a year turbines at Earystane and Scard would have to be turned off because there's too much wind, too little or it's coming from the wrong direction.

The planned wind farm at Earystane would see five turbines providing a third of the Island's energy needs.
