What is the energy strategy for Guernsey?

The Electricity Strategy for Guernsey covers the period up to . The Committee for the Environment & Infrastructure considered several different ways in which Guernsey could meet its future demand including solar, wind, tidal, additional interconnectors, energy storage and alternative fuels.

Where should an offshore wind array be located in Guernsey?

Feasibility studies to date have shown that the most optimal location for an offshore wind array in Guernsey's territorial waters is the west coast. The offshore wind feasibility report completed in is available in the downloads section of this page, along with a summary document.

Does Guernsey need a green economy?

It is essential that Guernsey can manage its own transition to a green economy effectively and so a strategic direction must be set, along with a market structure that supports this, and provide certainty to the energy industry. The Electricity Strategy was approved by the States of Deliberation in September . What was proposed?

Can energy storage improve solar and wind power?

With the falling costs of solar PV and wind power technologies, the focus is increasingly moving to the next stage of the energy transition and an energy systems approach, where energy storage can help integrate higher shares of solar and wind power.

How can energy storage technologies help integrate solar and wind?

Energy storage technologies can provide a range of services to help integrate solar and wind, from storing electricity for use in evenings, to providing grid-stability services.

Why should a regulatory framework be developed in Guernsey?

The regulatory framework must be suitable to the size and scale of Guernsey's industry, providing a mechanism to challenge decisions made by the industry, whilst also providing investors with confidence.
