Saint Lucia Advances Commercial and Industrial Energy Storage
Backed by St Lucia Electricity Services (LUCELEC), the initiative will be developed on a 70-acre site on the island''s southwest coast. Once complete, the system will connect to
Total electricity generating capacity in Saint Lucia is about 93 MW. Fossil fuel-based generating capacity, operated by St. Lucia Electricity Services, Ltd. (LUCELEC), amounts to 88.4 MW, about 95 percent of total electricity generating capacity. Installed generating capacity from renewable energy is 4.7 MW, of which LUCELEC operates 3 MW.
The path to Saint Lucia's planned energy transition requires massive deployment of an applicable set of proven clean-energy technologies, taking advantage of the country's full renewable energy potential, particularly solar, wind, and geothermal resources.
Harnessing the power of the sun in applications other than electricity generation, such as solar water heating, is a goal that Saint Lucia is also pursuing as part of the envisaged energy transition. Objective 1: Promote the installation of solar water heaters.
Saint Lucia has substantial potential for electricity generated by renewable energy. Solar energy potential is estimated at 36 MW, equivalent to about 41 percent of installed capacity for electricity generation using fossil fuels. Moreover, Saint Lucia is estimated to have huge geothermal resource potential, about 680 MW.
