Nearly three dozen students employed by LUCELEC for the summer vacation have been given some sound lessons on work ethics.  The training is part of the work experience programme for the students and was conducted by noted St Lucian professional, Thecla Deterville – Managing Director of Celestial Self-Development Centre.

It was organized by LUCELEC’s Human Resource Department “in an effort to fully prepare the summer interns for the world of work”.

The St Lucia Electricity Services Limited (LUCELEC) has congratulated the Choiseul Secondary School for its remarkable accomplishments at this year’s Junior Achievement Awards.

The school, with the backing of LUCELEC, captured several prizes at the 16th annual Awards ceremony of Junior Achievement held on June 26, 2012, including the top prize for the highest return on investment.

LUCELEC says work to rebuild a section of the 66 kilovolt (kV) transmission line that is crucial to the delivery of power to residents in the south of the island is nearing completion.

The 3.28 kilometres of transmission line on the East Coast from Ti Rocher, Micoud to Canelles had become prone to faults after 20 years in service. Engineers are now making their final adjustments before the lines are fully restored later this month

The lines had become less reliable after years of constant exposure to sea blast which resulted in corrosion and failure of pole top equipment.
