3.18 Deputy P.V.F. Le Claire of the Minister for Treasury and Resources regarding the importation of electricity by the Jersey Electricity Company: Can the Minister advise whether the Jersey Electricity Company is importing a source of high carbon electricity from Guernsey Electricity Limited?

Senator P.F.C. Ozouf (The Minister for Treasury and Resources):

I am advised by the J.E.C. (Jersey Electric Company) that they import around 95 per cent of the Island's power from France, which is low carbon as it comes predominantly from nuclear and hydro sources. The remainder is generated on Island at La Collette with a small proportion being from the Transport and Technical Services incinerator via Bellozanne. None is imported from Guernsey.

Deputy P.V.F. Le Claire: Thank you.
