motorbikes – this year will likely see the landmark record of a 100mph average circuit speed achieved by an electric model. “More than 87 per cent of the Isle of Man territory is offshore,” said Dr Ken Milne, senior manager for energy policy at the Isle of Man Government. “We have the capacity and the capability to be generating thousands of megawatts of renewable energy to feed into the UK National Grid. “Our territorial waters are the equivalent of Rounds 1 and 2 of the Crown Estate leasing programme for offshore wind farms – most of our water is shallow and we have perfect wind conditions. “Our close proximity to the UK allows By 2015, we aim to produce 15 per cent of our electricity needs from renewable sources a more cost effective interconnection than many other new offshore wind farms around the UK coast and we have the precision manufacturing supply chain already in place on the island. “By 2015, we aim to produce 15 per cent of our electricity needs from renewable sources and by 2020 we may be able to supply 10 times as much low-carbon electricity to the UK as the entire island electricity consumption in a year . “The island is well set up for the trial and research of low-carbon technology, we have manufacturing companies on the island that specialise in the aerospace industry supplying Boeing and Airbus and the optics for the <strong>Mar</strong>s Explorer mission were manufactured on the Isle of Man. “We are a signatory of the same intellectual property rights treaties as the UK and the rest of Europe, which means all royalties and revenues from IP is zero-rated for tax.” The island is also working on developing News: Profi le Aiming high: The Isle of Man aims to produce 15 per cent of its electricity from renewables by 2020 smart grid technology and is perfectly positioned in the middle of the Irish Sea to connect Ireland, Scotland, England and Wales, which could create the blueprint of a much larger, pan-European smart grid model. Dr Milne added: “We are investigating opportunities to become a major net exporter of renewable energy and we have the capacity, skills and infrastructure to achieve it. “We are looking at other countries such as Scotland for offshore renewables and Singapore for smart grid technology to see how the Isle of Man can best support the role of these low-carbon technologies. “The island’s peak demand for electricity is 90MW so everything we can generate above this and our base load of 40MW can be exported straight to the UK. “Our energy-to-waste plant already enables the island to divert 100 per cent of domestic waste from landfi ll – the next big opportunity to help reduce our carbon footprint is from the renewable energy produced from our territorial waters.” www.renewableenergyinstaller.co.uk | 17
