From producing the energy that heats our homes, to investing in the maintenance of our island's energy infrastructure. Tariffs play a key part. Continuing to invest in our island's electricity infrastructure is essential to keeping the lights on today, and tomorrow.
Focus your energy on our future. If you're looking for a new challenge as the sustainable energy transition gains pace, we might have the right job for you.
In September 2023 The States of Guernsey agreed the Electricity Strategy. This detailed document covers the period up to 2050 and sets out a high-level strategic plan of how Guernsey could meet the anticipated increase in demand for electricity.

We must prepare to action the agreed pathway direction as soon as possible in order to maintain our Island's grid and build a robust network to support the needs of customers today, and well into the future.
