St Lucia Electricity Services Limited (LUCELEC) is continuing efforts to reduce interruptions to the electricity supply to customers. The power company is improving its protection systems through a major software upgrade and training in its use. 

Currently nine members of staff are attending a training workshop in how to use the software which maintains the relays used by the electricity company to pinpoint and repair faults on its network. Relays are protective devices that ensure any changes in the electricity network are immediately communicated to the System Control Centre.
