2023 St. Lucia Energy Report Card
Saint Lucia''s updated National Energy Policy aims to build a modern, sustainable energy sector focused on energy security, cost reduction, and local participation. It targets 50% renewable
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.
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.
Saint Lucia's updated National Energy Policy aims to build a modern, sustainable energy sector focused on energy security, cost reduction, and local participation. It targets 50% renewable energy in electricity by 2030, reduced GHG emissions, and increased electric vehicle adoption.
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.
