Winston Score History

The full picture

Jersey Electricity plc supplies electricity to the island of Jersey, a small British Crown dependency in the English Channel. It is the sole provider of electricity on the island, serving homes, businesses, and public services across a population of roughly 100,000 people. The company also runs related businesses including building services, retail electrical goods, and property.

The company earns most of its revenue by selling electricity at regulated rates, giving it a stable but tightly controlled income stream. It imports the majority of its power through undersea cables connected to the French grid, which keeps costs relatively low compared to generating power locally. Because Jersey is a small, isolated island with only one electricity provider, the company faces little competition, but its growth is naturally limited by the island's fixed population and land area, and it remains exposed to changes in French energy prices and the cost of maintaining aging cable infrastructure.
