Castries, June 2, 2022 – St. Lucia Electricity Services Limited (LUCELEC) says supply chain challenges are delaying a long outstanding order for new streetlights and associated spare parts.  The power company is still awaiting delivery of an order placed in December last year, originally scheduled for delivery at the end of March. The supplier has since shifted that delivery date to late June into July this year.

Castries, March 14, 2022 – At 5:31 a.m. on March 14, 2022, St. Lucia experienced an island wide power outage.

The outage was caused by a cable fault at the Cul De Sac facility.  The fault triggered the protection system, resulting in a total shutdown of the electricity system.
