"In recent years I have focussed my attention on emerging energy technologies and changing electricity markets across the world that could potentially contribute to Guernsey’s energy future. There are many opportunities for our community to take advantage of as we transform the local energy market and fulfil our commitment to being completely supplied by renewable and sustainable energy."
Guernsey Electricity CEO Alan Bates added: "Stuart brings a wealth of experience in the electricity industry across a range of technical and commercial disciplines, giving him a unique appreciation of the alignment between strategy, operations and how the business needs to develop for the future.

Stuart’s role is pivotal in ensuring we are able to deliver appropriate solutions that deliver energy in a fair and equitable way for all islanders."
