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.
