A energy transition advisor says the land earmarked to build a windfarm in the South of the Island is perfect as it's considered a 'windy site'
David Quirk, who is with University of Denmark and also a research director at the Energy Sustainability Centre on the Island made the comment on Manx Radio's Mannin Line earlier today.
He says the Irish Sea as a whole is 'very windy' and so wind is funnelled into Earystane which is facing the right direction - adding having alternatives is key nowadays.
Commenting on some resident's views on the building of the facility, Mr Quirk said it's popular and seen as an investment:
'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
