To optimise our electricity provision<br />
today and in the future, we will<br />
need to ensure that we maximise<br />
the value of the local renewable<br />
generation to the island, which may<br />
also mean the ability to store it. We<br />
need to plan for, not only, when<br />
there is insufficient sun and wind,<br />
but also when there is too much.<br />
The potential for energy to flow<br />
and be stored between renewable<br />
generation sources, the islands<br />
power grid, our electric vehicles and<br />
our home storage provides great<br />
opportunity for us to reduce our<br />
reliance on fossil fuels.<br />
over the next generation, Guernsey<br />
needs to manage the changes step<br />
by step. We need to make sure<br />
our energy journey meets not only<br />
our environmental aspirations but<br />
also works for our island today,<br />
and tomorrow. To meet these<br />
aspirations, we need to set our own<br />
pathway, and not follow the path set<br />
by much larger jurisdictions.<br />
This all makes for an exciting future,<br />
with electricity and the Guernsey<br />
community at the heart of it.<br />
Whilst these changes will happen<br />
