ISLAND Energy will start restoring the Island’s gas supplies from Thursday.
The company urged customers not to switch on their gas until told it is safe to do so.
In a statement issued on Tuesday evening, Island Energy said: “We will be turning on our plant on Wednesday and monitoring its performance for 24 hours. Should this go as planned we will begin the reinstatement of supply from Thursday.
“As we have said this is a staged process so customers will be informed by us when it’s safe to turn on their gas. There are a number of customers who require a visit from an engineer, these will start on Thursday.”
The company said there were clear instructions to restoring gas and that they would be communicating with customers via a letter, the media, social media and its website.
Island Energy said: “We apologise for the inconvenience this has caused and thank all our customers for their support whilst we have been managing this issue. If you wish to get in touch with us then please call on, 755 500.”
The firm said its current guidance to customers remained:
- Make sure all gas appliances are switched off (boiler, cooker, fire etc)
- Turn off the gas supply to your home at the meter. The emergency control valve is located next to your meter. Detailed instructions and a video for this are here.
- It’s important you let us know that you have done this. If you’ve helped a neighbour or relative to turn off their supply also let us know. Please complete this form or call us on 755 500.
