Engineers at the St. Lucia Electricity Services Limited (LUCELEC) have designed a system to mitigate against flood damage at the Union Substation. It is a three step process developed with GDM Lindex Ltd, a UK based independent goods and equipment supplier.

A river that borders the Union substation has been a longstanding threat during heavy rains. When the river overflows it results in water, mud and debris getting into the substation causing damage to the equipment.

Saint Lucia Electricity Services Limited (LUCELEC) has presented the Ministry of Youth Development and Sports with a $50,000 donation towards the Inter-Schools Sports Programme.

The sponsorship is the final part of a three year commitment with the Ministry valued at $150,000.

Saint Lucia Electricity Services Limited (LUCELEC) will begin a series of events in observance of its 50^th anniversary with a Thanksgiving Service and Reception on Wednesday September 17, 2014.

LUCELEC celebrated its milestone anniversary on July 1, 2014 under the theme, “LUCELEC: 50 Years of Empowering the Nation”.

A number of officials are expected to join members of the LUCELEC Board of Directors, past and present staff and other guests at the event to be held at the National Cultural Centre.
