Saint Lucia launches National Energy Policy 2023
The updated National Energy Policy for the period 2023–30 and its accompanying implementation plan represent a significant milestone in
At the same time, recent developments in energy efficiency, renewable energy, cleaner-burning fuels (e.g., natural gas), electricity storage, and advanced controls and metering present a myriad of opportunities. Saint Lucia's current electricity system is well managed, reliable, and equitable.
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.
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.
