The Manx Electricity Authority (Manx: Lught-reill Lectraghys Manninagh) was a Statutory Board of the Isle of Man Government which generated and supplied electricity for the Isle of Man. In 2014 it became part of the Manx Utilities Authority when it was merged with the Isle of Man Water and Sewerage Authority.[3]
Generation
Electricity generation is provided on the island from the following sources
- A 1 MW hydroelectric power plant at Sulby and Block Eary reservoir.[4]
- An 87 MW combined cycle gas turbine power station in Douglas.[4]
- A number of diesel generators at Douglas, Peel, and Ramsey, totalling 90.4 MW.[4]
In addition there is also the Isle of Man to England Interconnector, an AC submarine power cable connecting the transmission system of the Isle of Man to that of Great Britain.[4]
