Jersey electricity prices to increase by 2.5% starting in March

Electricity tariffs in Jersey are set to rise by 2.5% from March 2027, according to an announcement from Jersey Electricity. The company stated that the adjustment will add slightly more than £1 each week to the bills of a typical all-electric home. Chief executive Chris Ambler noted that the increase has been kept below the island's current annual inflation rate of 3%. The utility also delayed the tariff rise until March to avoid hitting consumers during the coldest winter months when electricity consumption typically peaks. Jersey Electricity is currently investing £120m into its network to improve system resilience and future-proof its infrastructure. The company emphasized its ongoing commitment to managing costs responsibly and driving efficiencies across the business.
