As the majority shareholder at Jersey Electricity (JEC), has the Minister responsible ever asked a question of the board of JEC as to whether we have enough capacity for generation of electricity within the Island for the whole population should anything happen to the French connection?
Response
This is a topic of regular discussion between the Minister for Treasury and Resources (as shareholder) and the JEC.
