Delivering the Energy Transition
Guernsey Electricity Infrastructure Plans
To see Guernsey Electricity's roadwork activity which forms part of the island's electricity network development, please click the above links.

The system that powers everything we do is buried beneath our feet.
It's our team that needs to replace a grid originally designed to supply the demand of 20th-century Guernsey with an infrastructure that can power our busy modern lives.
But we do understand how frustrating roadworks can be. As we don't use overhead power lines in Guernsey, the bulk of our network is underground cabling which means you'll probably notice more roadworks around as we modernise the island's electricity system.
Following the States approval of the Electricity Strategy in 2023, our team are well underway implementing the Energy Transition which involves a staged upgrade of the electricity network from 2023 to 2050.
