6 FAQs about [Power grid battery storage Isle of Man]
Will the Isle of Man be short of baseload power?
Both UK and RoI are predicted to become short of baseload power over the next decade. Opportunities for the Isle of Man to provide stabilising power to GB or ROI from a large-scale baseload power station, e.g. biomass or a small modular reactor? Neither option is without challenge, but likely provide the greatest potential for export.
Could the Isle of Man re-import electricity from an offshore wind farm?
With interconnectors the Isle of Man could re-import electricity generated from an offshore wind farm, allowing GB to manage the balancing. This would likely result in much lower costs to consumers. CFDs are not currently open to the Isle of Man as it is not part of the UK.
Does GB provide balancing capacity for the Isle of Man?
Importing electricity via the interconnector (especially from resources such as nuclear and wind) has no carbon cost for the Isle of Man. GB also provides balancing capacity for the Isle of Man, which will be explained in the Network Stability section.
Can wind power be exported from the Isle of man to GB?
Given the high proportion of wind being installed in both UK and Irish waters over the next ten – thirty years (see Fig. 9 and Fig. 10) there may be limited opportunity to export power generated from offshore wind from the Isle of Man to GB, if it has to be brought onto the island first.
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).
Can we build more than the Isle of Man's first offshore wind farm?
Together we can build more than the Isle of Man’s first offshore wind farm – we can lay the foundation for lasting economic investment, develop skills, create jobs, and protect and enhance the marine environment.
