UK approves offshore wind farm

Plans for almost 100 wind turbines halfway between the Island and the UK have been given planning permission.

The Labour government has given the go-ahead for the Morgan Offshore Wind Project around 12 nautical miles East of Douglas.

The development will see 96 turbines producing 1,500 megawatts - enough to power almost two million homes.

There's now a six-week period where the UK Secretary of State's decision can challenged in the High Court.
