Mobile generator sent to Heysham
The Manx Utilities Authority is supplying power to almost 400 homes in Heysham in the wake of Storm Desmond.
Tens of thousands of homes across the Northwest of the UK were left without electricity following the weekend wind and rain.
The MUA has now sent a mobile generator across on the ferry as part of a mutual aid deal with power firms there.
Andy Cowie, the MUA’s client projects manager, says this emergency is slightly different to normal appeals:
Garff Commissioners hosting offshore windfarm drop in session today
It has invited representatives from Orsted and campaign group Not4Iom to attend
No harbour basin work planned in Laxey this summer
Regular inspections will continue but re-grading work not necessary at this time
Public invited to suggest new brownfield site for potential re-development
A consultation has been launched by the Cabinet Office
Anthony Allen re-elected as chair at Onchan Commissioners
Commissioner says it's been an honour to serve in the role over the last 12 months
