Over the past century, we have become so much more than just an electricity provider. We have adapted and grown, in partnership with our community, as our energy needs have evolved.

But while the way we have generated the energy that feeds our homes, schools and public services has changed, we’ve stayed true to our north star of providing secure, reliable and affordable electricity.

For 100 years, we've had the privilege of keeping the lights on across Jersey, powering homes and businesses. From family events to big meetings, quiet nights in, to momentous occasions, we're proud to have been a part of the special moments in Islanders' lives over the last 100 years.

Thank you, from Chris Ambler, CEO

‘Fill it up, please’ In April we’ll be celebrating our 100 year anniversary so we’ve been raiding the archives and we found this gem. Here we are celebrating Jersey’s very first ‘electric personal commuter vehicle’. Bonus points for anyone who can name the electric vehicle.

‘A bigger deal than the air fryer.’ In 1976, we announced our winner for ‘that red spiral competition’. Mrs Moyse correctly answered the red spiral represented the all new electric cooker.

Repairs are always necessary, but now we have hard hats and high viz as well as better ways of working. Just like today, our engineers are out in all seasons so we can continue to power the moments that matter.

‘My vacuum has been acting up. It really needs to clean up its act.’ In 1976, we replaced Mrs Day's aging vacuum cleaner with a state-of-the-art (for the 70s) Electrolux 305 De Luxe! Her Golbin cleaner from 1945 was still working but we thought it could take its well-earned retirement

A window into the past… Sustainability and the environment have always been close to our hearts. Whilst double glazing and other energy-saving measures are the norm in homes today, they were once a novelty that we were encouraging people to try. We love a bit of window shopping.

Microwave of the future. The JEP Woman’s Circle were cooking up a storm with the ‘Magical Microwave’ in 1978. We hosted cooking lessons for 400 people who wanted to learn all about how to cook with this modern tech.

“We are family ” Charlie was one of three brothers who worked at #TeamJE from the 1940s-1980s, collectively working with us for 100 years! We’re proud that our people still choose to remain a part of Jersey Electricity for many years, and we value each and every member, past and present.

A Golden Retirement. We’re honoured to work with such dedicated people across JE. Mr Sheen, as he was affectionately known, took great pride in the care of the vehicle he drove and we were sad to see him leave in 1980 after 50 years behind the wheel. What service! Thank you, Harold

We've always been conscious of helping our customers to save energy, but in the years after World War II, obviously this was for different reasons. Post 1945, we resumed control of the network and started to build the infrastructure we continue to invest in today.

"Everybody say wattages" The formation of the Jersey Electricity Company in 1924 meant that Islanders could enjoy electricity in their homes, but we were not the first attempt at installing electricity… Here’s a photograph from a meeting of the St Helier Electric Lighting Committee in 1914, who wanted to install electric lighting in St Helier.
