Cair Vie Onshore Windfarm Project

The Cair Vie Windfarm Project is an exciting new initiative designed to harness our Island’s natural renewable resources.

Following extensive surveys and two Island-wide assessments, Earystane was chosen as the most suitable site for further consideration for the delivery of the Island's first windfarm. The Isle of Man is known to have some of the highest average wind speeds in Europe. Located in the South West, Earystane can host up to four turbines, which could generate more than a quarter of the Island's electricity needs.

The proposed development would be publicly-owned, operated by Manx Utilities and contribute to the Island's low carbon energy plans.

We are hosting a series of events across the Isle of Man.

The primary objective is to gather your feedback and answer any questions, and provide an opportunity for you to learn more about the project, feed into the design and share any concerns with senior members of the project team.

This initiative could create tangible benefits for the Island and our local communities.

It is also a vital step towards meeting the Isle of Man's ambitious environmental goals, as outlined in the Isle of Man Government Climate Plan
