Island Energy is set to return to the Royal Court to enter pleas after being charged by the Health and Safety Inspectorate over a gas explosion at Mont Pinel.
The Bailiff has requested the utility company returns to court on 3 March to set a trial date, following a hearing this morning (6 February) where the firm pleaded not guilty.
Defence Advocate Mike Preston is representing the gas company, which has been charged under the Health and Safety at Work law with failing to ensure public safety.
A trial is suggested for June 2026.

A gas explosion at Mont Pinel occurred on 26 June 2024 at Elizabeth Villas.
It left the parents of two young children hospitalised for days, after they became trapped under rubble.
19 other residents were evacuated after a 'massive bang' was heard just before 11pm.
Island Energy appeared before the Magistrate's Court and entered not guilty pleas in December 2025, and the case was referred to the Royal Court.
