'We sit in the dark to save money on electricity'
Pensioners in Guernsey are protesting outside Guernsey Electricity Limited's office against rising electricity prices, which have led to some residents sitting in the dark to save money. The company is increasing prices to cover maintenance and network upgrades due to a drop in revenue from renewables. Protesters argue that the standing charge increase is unfair and that electricity is a basic human right. Over 100 people attended the demonstration, calling for a review of the pricing structure.
