Treasury keeps out of GE cash row

0759965TREASURY distanced itself yesterday from Guernsey Electricity’s multi-million pound disagreement with the Office of Utility Regulation.

The utility company is expected to comment on its accounts today after a week in which the company spokesmen said it would consider a response.

The OUR believes GE should have £25m. in its capital spending cash pool by 2013.

However, Guernsey Electricity said it would be down to zero by that date.

Treasury say the cash pool currently contains around £16m.

Minister Charles Parkinson (pictured) said: ‘There are funding issues between Guernsey Electricity and the Office of Utility Regulation which are for those two parties to resolve.’
