Powering Life, Today and Tomorrow
Guernsey Electricity’s long-term strategy is for an energy system that supports renewables and reduces the reliance on fossil fuels to use the power station for emergency generation only. See for yourself the challenging road ahead.
The majority of the route has been laid in the biggest cable infrastructure project since the 1980s. Guernsey Electricity are laying a new 33kV cable 6.5 km across the Island, connecting two substations from the North of the Island to the critical infrastructure of the Princess Elizabeth hospital. Supporting the upgrade of electrical infrastructure for the PEH and the network supplying the South of Guernsey.
When you pay your bill - where does your money go? Tariffs help to keep our island running in more ways than one. 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.
Guernsey Electricity's role remains the same in keeping the lights on, our homes warm, and maintaining modern Island life today, and well into the future.
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.
