As part of plans to make the Isle of Man energy self-sufficient, the Manx government delegates will be visiting the Isle of Wight.
In its Ecoisland Partnership launched in 2008, the Isle of Wight includes plans to harness tidal and geothermal power, BBC reports.
The Island of Man is planning to develop the similar scheme, and a member of the House of Keys, Richard Ronan , said: “We want to hear about the lessons learned by the Ecoisland Partnership and, where appropriate, implement similar projects in the Isle of Man.
“A great deal has been achieved in the Isle of Man already but we need to explore further ways in which to use our environment sustainably, reduce our dependency on imported energy and improve our economic competitiveness.”
