The Powering Life for Less Show

It takes place at St Pierre Park Hotel on Saturday 20th September from 10am to 3pm and attendees will hear from experts offering bespoke advice and hands-on demonstrations from the company’s staff.

The event will see GEL partnering with local businesses including the Little Green Energy Company who will be providing expertise, supplying information on renewable solutions and how to power homes sustainably. Charity organisations are joining to outline the support services they offer to islanders. Other participants include the Repair Café, Iris & Dora, and Grow Ltd.

Additional features at the event include an interactive area for children with face painting, energy saving games and challenges to engage the younger generation to be mindful of energy consumption. Live demonstrations will show common energy pain points around the home, from how to change a light bulb to reading an electricity meter.

Company staff including CEO Alan Bates will be hosting presentations on the day on topics including delivery of the Electricity Strategy, tariffs, home electrification, energy saving and staying safe online. All households attending will be entered into a free raffle with a chance to win prizes totalling over £2,000.

Cost-effective, healthy recipes are also being showcased. Curated by Guernsey Electricity staff, the dishes cost under £1 per portion, with free samples available. Alliance will be running an offer on selected recipe ingredients from Monday 15th September to Monday 29th September. 

There will be a dedicated customer support area for attendees to speak directly with Guernsey Electricity's representatives regarding their bill and ways to save energy and ultimately reduce consumption.
