Guernsey Gas MD calls for a natural gas pipeline

The managing director of Guernsey Gas has called for the construction of a natural gas pipeline to the island.

Paul Garlick said a pipeline could help cut gas tariffs and energy costs.

Guernsey currently imports liquid petroleum gas, but a proposed energy plan due to be debated by the States calls for a review of the construction of a natural gas pipeline.

Mr Garlick said he was enthusiastic about the review, and said it would be "a huge asset and advantage".
