These diverging interests make it dificult to secure a successful contract that benefits Saint Lucia. Energy storage, in the form of batteries, will play a role in the Saint Lucia electricity system by avoiding reserve capacity and facilitating the integration of variable renewable energy.
In 2010, Saint Lucia began a process to revise the electricity regulatory framework (last updated in 2006), including the concessionary agreement, in line with national objectives to increase the use of renewable energy. In early 2016, a new independent National Utilities Regulatory Commission (NURC) was established.
In 2014, the Government of Saint Lucia announced refined energy targets, setting a renewable energy penetration target of 35 per cent and an energy eficiency target of 20 per cent reduction in consumption in the public sector, both to be achieved by 2020.
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.
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.
Not more than three years ago, Saint Lucians were paying over $1 per unit of electricity, more than 50 percent higher than consumers are paying today. Such high costs place an undue burden on residents and businesses, impacting all aspects of the national economy.
