Major Rushen Posted July 28, 2023 Share Posted July 28, 2023 Hello…. £500 per head of population is that a bargain or what. Of course £40million with cost overruns will be R least £100million. Why do we not just buy the electricity from established U.K. based farms. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two-lane Posted July 28, 2023 Share Posted July 28, 2023 It is interesting to know the long-term cost (including installation, maintenance and replacement) in £/MW for this proposed installation, versus the cost £/MW for gas generated.

Dirty Buggane Posted July 28, 2023 Share Posted July 28, 2023 (edited) And also the cost of importing all our electric. Pity all the dick waving is not driving a generator and producing electric Edited July 28, 2023 by Dirty Buggane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheTeapot Posted July 28, 2023 Share Posted July 28, 2023 I don't know if any of you have read the proposal but if you have, can you answer why they repeatedly refer to Scard as Scards? It is Scard. No extra S. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It had to be under the £42M they they sort have left over from the bond issue. Likely it will be double that at least and we’ll only find out in 5 years time. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slinkydevil Posted July 28, 2023 Share Posted July 28, 2023 "The lowest manufacturing cost option is to take one of the turbines away and install four, five-megawatt turbines at the same site. The catch, however, is that a marine access ramp would be needed adding on a significant cost - up to an extra £10 million, roughly." 🚩🚩🚩🚩 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reading between the lines Earystane & 5 no. 4.2MW is the preferred technical option (barring any late surprises on EIA) by some distance. Expect strong lobbying though (already kicked off by the previous prospective MLC candidate who farms in the area) so don't be surprised if we end up with a worse performing cost/technical option.

AcousticallyChallenged Posted July 28, 2023 Share Posted July 28, 2023 So, up to a claimed 139 gigawatt hours per year is what the report says for your £30 million Wholesale energy price at the moment in the UK is 11p per kWh. So that comes to: 0.11p x 139,000,000 which comes to £15.3 million a year wholesale production. If the sums are correct, depending on the lifespan of the turbines and maintenance costs, it sounds like a winner. I imagine you’d have to really screw up to only get 2 years out of them. 3 years and you’re laughing to the bank. After 3 years, your price per kWh generated drops to 7p. By 5 years, it’s 4p Wholesale gas at the moment is 4.71p/kW. Pulrose is around 50% efficient. And that’s only the cost of the fuel for it.

Blade Runner Posted July 28, 2023 Share Posted July 28, 2023 Yet again, something your island needs that will be stopped because of NIMBYS and the like. I really love the way there was a "protest group" setup less than a day after the announcement of the 2 sites chosen to be investigated further. How the F1ck did you lot ever allow motor cars or motor bikes on the rock in the early part of the last century? Never mind, Crogga gas may kick the can down the road................... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still don't know why they can't approach one of the new windfarms on the Steampacket routes and do a deal to get free electricity (or 100% discount) in return for the impact on our vital shipping route. No need to build or maintain them. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
