Helium is not a good conductor of electricity since its valence band is full and there is a large gap between this and its conduction band which means that electrons cannot be readily promoted from the fermi level to the conduction band...hence electrons are not free to move and there is no conduction.

Is helium a good or poor conductor of electricity?

Helium is a poor conductor of electricity because it is a noble gas with a full outer electron shell, making it very stable and non-reactive. This means it does not readily lose or gain electrons to carry an electric charge.
