Dennery residents are being encouraged to attend a town hall meeting to discuss a proposed wind farm to be located near the Bordelais Correctional Facility. The meeting is planned for Wednesday, May 18, from 6:30pm at the Clendon Mason Secondary School.
St Lucia Electricity Services Limited’s (LUCELEC) Request for Proposals (RFP) for the construction of a 3 megawatt (MW) solar energy farm is drawing significant interest from around the world. A recent meeting and site visit for interested bidders attracted seventy representatives from thirty-five companies from the US, Canada, Europe, Latin America and the Caribbean, many of whom are partnering with local solar, engineering and construction firms.
St. Lucia Electricity Services Limited (LUCELEC), has released a Request for Proposals (RFP) for competitive firms to submit bids to develop an on-island 3 MW solar PV project.
The 3 MW solar park will be located north of the Hewanorra International Airport at La Tourney, Vieux Fort and represents the first utility-scale solar PV project in Saint Lucia. The project is being funded by LUCELEC. Once online, the peak solar capacity is anticipated to provide over 5 percent of the power generation needs of the island, and will be managed by LUCELEC to ensure continued grid stability.
