An independent commission would be responsible for licensing marine renewable energy, including offshore wind

Guernsey's government has proposed setting up an independent body to oversee the commercial development of offshore renewable energy.

Environment and Infrastructure (E&I) said an Offshore Renewable Energy Commission (OREC) would be responsible for licensing marine renewable energy, including offshore wind.

E&I said it wanted to agree the "practical details" now, but OREC would be set up once there was "greater certainty around potential offshore renewable projects".

E&I president Lindsay de Sausmarez said the move was "an important step to put Guernsey on the front foot" for future opportunities.
