6 FAQs about [Large scale energy storage Isle of Man]

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.

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.

Can Isle of Man export electricity to GB?

There is also limited opportunities for Isle of Man to export electricity to GB, due to the excess capacity of renewable generators expected to be in operation by 2050. Isle of Man assets also have an 11% CAPEX uplift compared to equivalent UK installations, due to labour, available skill-set, transport and economies of scale.

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.

Can electricity be decarbonised on the Isle of Man?

Electricity generation is responsible for approximately 33% of all greenhouse gas emissions on the Isle of Man, and a majority of this is currently sourced from fossil fuels (natural gas). Without the decarbonisation1 of electricity, it will not be possible to reduce carbon emissions significantly in other areas such as heating and transport.

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.
