Renewable energy firm Little Green says a shift to self-generation is accelerating as residential and commercial property occupants seek to manage rising energy costs and reduce their carbon footprints.
Electricity prices in Guernsey have increased by 17% over the past two years, going from a unit price of 21p in July 2022 to 25.3p today.
Jamie Clark, Operations Director of Little Green, said: “Energy prices are rising across the board, making renewable energy not just a greener choice but also a cost-effective one.
“Islanders have been generating and storing their own electricity with solar panels and battery storage systems for several years now, keeping their homes powered while reducing dependence on expensive, traditional energy sources, helping Guernsey get closer to its 2050 target of net zero.”
Recent data shows the UK’s increasing reliance on renewable energy, with over half of its electricity generated from renewable sources for three consecutive quarters.
Labour has a goal to decarbonise electricity generation by 2030.
