Castries, June 7, 2021 – As the energy that powers the nation’s success, St. Lucia Electricity Services Limited (LUCELEC) has one main goal as the country grapples with the COVID-19 pandemic.  It is to keep the pandemic outside the power plant and ensure the lights stay on. But it has not been business as usual. Far from it. Especially in the past 16 months when achieving that ideal called for focus on its staff, customers and contributing to the national effort.

The annual Rainforest of Reading Festival organized by One World School House Foundation was held in March 2016 at Castries and Vieux-Fort. This is the third year the festival, with support from St Lucia Electricity Services Limited (LUCELEC) was held in Saint Lucia.

Seventy-seven hundred (7,700) students from all seventy-four (74) primary schools on the island participated in the Reading Festival. The activity is endorsed by the Ministry of Education and held under the patronage of H.E Governor-General Dame Pearlette Louisy.

Operation Shoebox, an initiative by staff of the St Lucia Electricity Services Limited (LUCELEC) continues this year to the benefit of more students and schools.

This is the second year of Operation Shoebox, where LUCELEC employees donate school supplies for distribution to schools around the island.
