The final phase of the project entitled Normandie 1 was laid yesterday at St Catherine’s Bay and the installation was carried out by Dutch specialists VBMS with whom the Channel Islands Electricity Grid (CIEG) already has a Power Cable Maintenance Agreement (PCMA) and an established relationship.
JE CEO Chris Ambler said: “This is another crucial project for Jersey Electricity funded jointly with Guernsey Electricity under the oversight of the CIEG. It will further enhance the security of supplies of clean, low carbon electricity to our islands long into the future. I would personally like to thank the large team working on this project, the authorities in France and Jersey, and all boat owners affected by this project for their co-operation.”
