BBC Radio Guernsey
People in Guernsey are being invited to find out more about the project to replace the sub-sea cable between Guernsey and Jersey.
Drop-in sessions are being held by Guernsey Electricity to tell the public how the works will impact Havelet Bay.
The cable, which links Guernsey to France via Jersey, failed in October last year and is currently being replaced.
Engineering works will soon enter the critical phase at Havelet Bay.
Onshore works will cause a number of road closures, restrict parking at the bay, and affect pedestrian access.
The drop-in session will take place at the Guernsey Yacht Club on Wednesday 4 September between 18:00 and 20:00.
Guernsey Electricity said representatives would be on-hand to explain the project in detail and listen to any concerns.

BBC Radio Jersey
It could take up to 10 years for chancre crab stocks in Jersey's waters to increase, the island's government says, after figures revealed numbers have almost halved since 2012.
Sales of the crabs - also known as brown crabs - account for around a quarter of Jersey fishermen's profits.
But data shows the species is in decline in the western English Channel.
The States said it believed the fall could be a result of rising sea temperatures, interrupting the crab's breeding cycle.
