Guernsey Electricity is holding a drop-in session next week about plans to replace the subsea cable, and how that will affect Havelet Bay.
The cable between Guernsey and Jersey - which ultimately links the island with France - failed in October last year.
Engineering workers will soon begin installing the new subsea cable to the electricity grid network at Havelet Bay, which could have an impact on those using the area.
"Our intention is to ensure that islanders are fully informed about the works; why they are so critical and what roads and beach access points will be available," said Guernsey Electricity Project Manager, Sharon Watchorn.
"Replacing the cable, which is being undertaken at an accelerated pace, is vital to ensure that Guernsey has full capacity access to the importation network to France which provides the island with low carbon and renewable supplies of electricity. This is essential so that we can continue to reduce emissions on the island and Guernsey Electricity can ensure the infrastructure is in place to meet the future energy needs of our community and economy.

"The works will be completed as quickly and safely as possible and Havelet Bay will be returned to its previous state once the cable is installed."
There will be a number of on-land closures over the next few months while works take place.
