Other projects will go ahead
Treasury Minister Alf Cannan says the proposed write-off of £95 million of Manx Utilities debt is affordable.
If approved by Tynwald later this month, it will mean the MUA will freeze charges for water, sewerage, electricity standing charges and put a 2% cap on electricity prices for the next year.
However, it does mean £6.5 million a year will be missing from the Treasury Capital Programme.
Mr Cannan says that won't be an issue in the short-term and doesn't mean some other schemes will be put on hold:-
'Too early to tell' what caused fire
Firefighting foam may have killed fish in Silverburn River
Additional road closure for TT filming ahead of MGP qualifying
'Knives and sharp implements' left outside charity shops
