5 FAQs about [Saint Lucia renewables and storage]

What is the best energy source for Saint Lucia?

The NETS findings indicate that a portfolio of utility-owned solar, distributed solar, wind, and diesel together with energy storage offers the best economics for Saint Lucia.

How does electricity work in Saint Lucia?

The island’s 180,000 residents and tourism-driven economy depend heavily on reliable electricity service. Today, that electricity is generated almost exclusively from imported diesel fuel, leaving Saint Lucia vulnerable to a costly and volatile energy source.

Is Saint Lucia reliant on fossil fuels for electricity generation?

Like many island nations, Saint Lucia is almost 100% reliant on imported fossil fuels for electricity generation, leaving it vulnerable to global oil price fluctuations that directly impact the cost of electricity. Electricity Sector Data

Can a biomass plant be built in Saint Lucia?

A biomass plant requires large tracts of agricultural land and is not economically feasible. Rivers and waterfalls on Saint Lucia do not have a base flow rate sufficient to power water turbines. The most promising hydroelectric spot is the Roseau Reservoir, which can supply 150 kilowatts (kW).

Is LUCELEC's metering infrastructure reducing Saint Lucia's electrical losses?

Advanced metering infrastructure installed across 20% of LUCELEC’s customer base in 2010 reduced technical and nontechnical electrical losses. Despite these efforts, Saint Lucia’s transmis- sion losses remain moderately high at more than 9%.
