Read the original article on bbc.com (opens in a new tab)The BBC reports the States of Guernsey's plan for a second undersea electricity cable, combined with local solar and wind power, to meet a forecast 30% rise in peak demand by 2050. It attributes the forecasts and expectations to the States and gives the cost range and the larger budget request. Nothing in it misleads the reader.
“is expected to help the island cope with an expected 30% increase in peak demand by 2050, the States said”
The BBC attributes the forecast and the expected benefit to the States rather than stating them as settled fact.
“The new cable is expected to cost between £113m and £209m.”
The article gives the full cost range rather than a single flattering or alarming figure.
“approve a larger budget of up to £253m while final costs are figured out”
The reporter tells readers the budget sought is larger than the cost estimate and explains why, so the cost picture is not understated.
