Jersey electricity prices set to rise by 2.5% next March

Jersey households will see electricity prices increase by 2.5% from 1 March 2027, adding just over £1 a week to the bill of a typical all-electric home.

Jersey Electricity (JE) said the below-inflation rise would help fund continued investment in the island's power network while keeping costs as affordable as possible.

The company is currently spending £120m on its 'Big Upgrade' programme to improve and future-proof the electricity infrastructure.

Chief Executive Chris Ambler said the increase had been delayed until March to avoid adding pressure during the colder winter months.

JE also confirmed a new four-year electricity supply agreement with French energy provider EDF, starting in 2028, which it says will help manage future energy costs and secure the island's electricity supply.

The company added that its new tariff would remain below comparable UK and EU electricity prices.
