6 FAQs about [Saint Lucia power system control centers]
Does Saint Lucia need a power supply?
For decades, Saint Lucians have benefitted from a reliable power supply, but at a cost. Our reliance on imported fossil fuels for the generation of electricity has left our small island nation vulnerable to external shocks, due to fluctuations in global oil prices over which we have no control.
How can energy eficiency programs be implemented in Saint Lucia?
Energy eficiency program implementation— Deploying a program to encourage cost-efective energy eficiency across diferent customer groups in Saint Lucia requires funding, staf, and appropriate regulations. If energy eficiency measures are not adopted, electricity loads will remain higher than projected.
How can wind turbines improve the energy system in Saint Lucia?
In addition to energy storage systems, demand response and frequency support from wind turbines can also be used to maintain system stability in the presence of high renewable generation. The two studies completed on the Saint Lucia electricity system are described in more detail below.
How much does wind energy cost in Saint Lucia?
LUCELEC-owned wind becomes cost competitive at or above EC$124 (US$46) per barrel of oil. Energy eficiency is the cheapest resource available, costing approximately EC$0.14 to $0.19 per kWh (including program operation costs), and is largely untapped in Saint Lucia.
How should the government of Saint Lucia deal with developers?
