The Manx government will wait for an expert's report on renewable energy, before investigating the potential for wave and tidal power.
That was the answer given by Chief Minister Tony Brown, to a Tynwald question from Michael MHK David Cannan, whose constituency has been earmarked for a potential onshore wind farm.
Expressions of interest have been invited from the private sector to build and operate wind turbines on the Island, but Mr Cannan wants that extended to include wave and tidal renewable energy firms.
Mr Brown told him a study on the best options for the Isle of Man was expected later this month:
Vote on Castle Rushen High School funding 'very unlikely' before election
Ramsey Commissioners to host public meeting about cottage hospital
DfE provided more than £250,000 to MT to assist with below ground fibre installations
Man given suspended sentence after importing 2kg of cannabis to Island
WCAS reuse garages to reopen on trial basis
