✦ Synopsis
Research on the Channel Island of Guernsey has shown that the notion of dispersing the power and energy base on small islands should be seriously considered. The paper is not an attack on small island electricity utilities but questions the present way of doing things. Instead of continuing the present centralised development path on small islands, distributed energy planning is a powerful instrument in re-directing future development towards a reduction in waste, rather than increasing it.
