Island included in offshore wind farm consultation

Tue, 26 Jul 2011

People from the Island are being asked to get involved in a public consultation over a wind farm which lies around 20 miles south west of the Island.

DONG Energy plans to extend the Walney Wind Farm which is currently under construction in the east Irish Sea near Morcambe Bay.

The company is consulting with communities that could potentially be affected and the Isle of Man has been identified as one of these.

More information about the wind farm and the planned extension can be found at walneyextension.com

The energy firm will be holding a consultation event for people to give their views.

That's at the Villa Marina on 15th September.
