ISLANDERS had an opportunity yesterday to find out more about the potential for macro marine renewable energy in Guernsey.

THE key issue for investing in renewable energy technology is when to do it, an expert has said.

With British Airways announcing yesterday that it will increase its fuel surcharge on long-haul flights by a further £12 – taking the total excess up to £125 – it is clear that oil prices are on the move again.

IT has not been plain sailing for one UK researcher providing tidal power experts with a rare glimpse of the Bailiwick’s uncharted seabed.

A FISHERMAN is calling for a more detailed assessment of the impact that tidal power could have on his industry.

TIDAL power in Guernsey will not produce as much energy as once thought, it was revealed yesterday.

ALDERNEY’S tidal energy developer has secured a deal to supply power to the UK.

GUERNSEY Electricity has backed moves to develop tidal power locally if the States agrees next week to the establishment of a renewable energy commission.

ALDERNEY has written off the cash it spent on setting up a body of tidal power regulators.

A MARINE power project backed by Guernsey Electricity has set a new benchmark and with it moved tidal power for the island a step closer.
