6 FAQs about [Isle of Man ormat energy storage]

Can the Isle of Man rely on gas and oil?

It’s clear that like all leading economies the Isle of Man cannot rely on gas and oil indefinitely. While the island’s target to achieve net-zero by 2050 may seem far away, most of us worry about the current price of energy. Graph showing options to generate renewable power, store energy and utilise power on the Isle of Man.

Can the IOM become a net exporter of energy?

Once sufficient renewable capacity is developed, driven by offshore wind and behind-the-meter solar capacity, the IoM again has the potential to become a net exporter of energy from excess power generated by renewable sources. An alternative scenario 4 was also developed to satisfy 100% of the island’s power demand through on-island generation.

How much biomass does IOM supply per year?

IoM has estimated that it can supply up to 30kT of biomass per annum. Consequently, the operation of the biomass plant needs to be limited by the available quantity of fuel. IoM does not intend to import biomass from other jurisdictions in order to avoid further emissions.

How will a wind farm impact the Isle of Man?

Environmental: The development of a 700-800 MW capacity wind farm in Manx territorial waters will provide the IoM with renewable, zero carbon electricity. Such a development will play a key role in decarbonising the Isle of Man economy to meet net zero targets.

Can the Isle of Man provide stabilising power to GB or ROI?

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. These options have not been explored in the analysis.

Does the IOM electricity network have a good capacity?

The IoM electricity network has reasonable levels of capacity at present, at both transmission and distribution network level. Electricity networks are designed to operate under peak load (worst-case) conditions. These are typically associated with cold winter evenings.
