A NEW £14m. generator will be helping power the island within weeks and Guernsey Electricity is planning to buy another.

GUERNSEY’S electricity supply link with France is operating again.

A DIRECT undersea power cable link with France or even the UK could support future renewable energy projects for the island.

POLITICIANS need to be more aware of the importance of continuity of electrical supply to the island, according to a States member.

GUERNSEY Electricity’s ‘temporary’ 9% price hike could be in place for another six to eight years, the utility has warned.

ELECTRICITY bills will increase by about £10 a month for islanders who use it to heat their homes and water thanks to this year’s cable link troubles, the States-owned utility has said.

AFTER a year of planning and a trip across Europe, Guernsey’s new £14m. generator arrived home safely yesterday.

Businesses in Le Pollet lost thousands of pounds in trade after their electricity was cut yesterday when a delivery van struck a power cable.

HUNDREDS held their breath as Guernsey Electricity’s new 400-tonne generator yesterday rolled gently off its transporter barge and slid safely onto dry land.

GUERNSEY Electricity is committed to buying nearly eight million euros’ worth of power from Electricite de France next year, whether it is used or not.
