This year saw the start of the project to install an electricity bulk supply point at the Princess Elizabeth Hospital (PEH) and associated grid infrastructure investment.
The project provides the company with an opportunity to increase capacity in the South and Southeast of the island. Though a project of this scale will take several years to complete, the major works are well underway and progress clearly visible on site.
This project follows the now fully commissioned electricity bulk supply point at Beau Sejour and forms the transmission backbone for the island to achieve its climate and environmental decarbonisation aspirations.
As part of this work, a new 33kV cable from two substations in the North to the PEH will be installed, providing an upgraded and secure supply to the hospital and will be the biggest cable lay on the Island since the 1980’s.
Chris Burgess, Project Management Team Lead said: “This project will enable the hospital to decarbonise and allow us to prepare for future electricity demands.
The cable route has been carefully planned to minimise disruption to Islanders, landowners, infrastructure and the environment and the whole project is expected to be installed by 2028.”
