6 FAQs about [Isle of Man micro energy in]
How much electricity does the Isle of Man need?
While average electricity demand on the Isle of Man stands at 40MW, it can peak at 75MW during the winter and drop at night during summer to 25MW. MU chairman Tim Johnston said "detailed work" to determine the best approach to increase renewable energy was underway.
How are emissions affecting the Isle of Man?
Consequently, emissions in this sector are increasing as other sectors decarbonise and electrify. Electricity generation (including emissions from both the Manx Utilities and the Energy from Waste plant) is currently the dominant source of carbon emissions on the Isle of Man, accounting for 33% of the island’s emissions at 245KT per year.
Where does the Isle of Man electricity come from?
The majority of the Isle of Man’s electricity is currently sourced from fossil fuels. The interconnector is a source of carbon neutral electricity on island and also provides a route to export electricity to the GB Market.
Does the Isle of Man import energy from the UK?
The Isle of Man currently imports all of its energy from the UK (with the exception of what is produced from Sulby). In all future models, the Isle of Man remains dependent on GB for the provision of baseload. This is the case even where capacity is increased by building excess renewables, as the stabilisation is still provided by interconnectors.
Will intermittent renewables be profitable for the Isle of Man?
It is unlikely that the export of intermittent renewables will be profitable for the Isle of Man given the reasons outlined in this document. The Isle of Man currently imports all of its energy from the UK (with the exception of what is produced from Sulby).
How will the electricity sector change in the Isle of Man?
As the uptake for electric heating and electric vehicles increases, the electricity sector will have to grow to meet future demand. The majority of the Isle of Man’s electricity is currently sourced from fossil fuels.
