Through the Climate Change Act and subsequent Climate Change Plan, the Isle of Man sets ambitious yet achievable goals for net-zero emissions by 2050 and 100% renewable electricity generation by 2030.
John Galloway, Ørsted Development Director, emphasizes the transformative potential of renewable energy projects for the Isle of Man. He states: “Renewable energy projects can ensure the Isle of Man’s energy security, create green jobs, and attract long-term investments in the local community.”
Key Highlights:
Historic Success: The Isle of Man’s historical success in pioneering innovative industries positions it to lead in the global green energy transition, demonstrating adaptability and innovation for a sustainable future.
Offshore Wind Farm: Ørsted, in collaboration with the Isle of Man Government, is actively working towards the green transition.
