Legal framework
Links to the laws that deal with regulation of electricity in Guernsey
Under The Electricity (Guernsey) Law, 2001 the Guernsey Competition and Regulatory Authority has the power to license operators and oversee the introduction of competition within the electricity market. The regulated activities include generation, conveyance and supply of electricity.
The Guernsey Competition and Regulatory Authority will ensure that where the market is opened up there is a level playing field for new entrants, and will be emphasising the need for continuously improved power supplies that deliver sustainability, safety, reliability, quality and cost effectiveness.
