Renewable Energy in Saint Lucia By: Margaret Burton, Tom Brayden, Sam Stevens, Kendall Tichner, Evan Welch

Problem: Saint Lucia’s electricity is completely dependant on diesel-powered generators. LUCELEC currently supplies 98% of the island’s electricity The price and demand for energy is increasing Green house gas emissions / Global warming Diesel Generator

St. Lucia’s Energy Potential Solar Wind Geo-thermal Hydro Solar Hot Water Bio-fuel Sulfur Springs: Soufriere

Project Goals To provide a source of renewable energy to the Praslin fishing community To promote renewable energy through education To reduce Saint Lucia’s dependency on foreign oil To find new projects/project partners for next years trip

Praslin Wind Turbine Project Description Repaired existing wind turbine by lengthening support pole Installed new blades Replaced old wiring for lighting Installed new marine grade inverter Cleaned and recharged existing batteries Requested new wire Cleaned beach

Beach Beautification

Millennium Development Goals Goal 7: Environmental sustainability achieved by integrating principles of sustainable development into country policies and programs Goal 8: Establishment of a global partnership for development by addressing the specific needs of small island states, in cooperation with the private sector making new technologies available

Obligations of group sponsor to achieve sustainability Educate the local community about how resource works and promote the benefits of renewable energy Provide local knowledge and expertise Help provide needed materials and labor Continuing maintenance of the energy system

Project Outputs Increased knowledge of renewable energy in Saint Lucia Energy to power 14 interior Energy Saver lights, 4 outdoor fluorescent lights and an outlet for use of power tools for the Praslin fishing community Reduce Greenhouse gases

Energy Audits Conducted load analysis: Choiseul: Sabre Wesha, Sir Arthur Lewis Community College, Ti Roche: Moreau Botanical Gardens

Future Recommendations Continue maintenance of existing systems Educate and promote renewable energy Make the most of the vast quantity of renewable resources on St. Lucia.
