                          JERSEY ELECTRICITY GROUP
              RESULTS FOR YEAR ENDING 30TH SEPTEMBER, 2001 
 

Group turnover rose 9% to £60.4M and operating profit increased 46% to £5M.
Growth in electricity sales was strong, despite mild weather conditions and
the Group's Consultancy and Contracting businesses led good profit
performances from all its non-electricity enterprises, with the exception of
telecommunications.

Net profits were reduced by losses at the telecommunications company Newtel,
in which the Group's controlling interest was relinquished during the year to
make way for new investors, ahead of liberalisation of the Channel Islands'
telecommunications markets in 2002. Start-up losses were lower than expected
at the Group's joint venture Foreshore, which began trading from its primary
Internet Data Centre in the third quarter.

The impact of deferred tax liabilities assumed on the adoption of Financial
Reporting Standard 17 increased the Group tax charge by £1.1M leading to a
further reduced profit after tax of £2.4M, which compared with last year's
restated post-tax profit of £2.7M. Earnings per share declined 9% to £1.58.
