Figure 25. Consumption and generation of electricity on St. Lucia 3.6.5 Energy Efficiency LUCELEC makes efficient use of existing capacity through system reliability, transmission losses, and fuel efficiency (LUCELEC 2009, p. 13). In 2003 the company was honored for its consistent maintenance of its power plants by Wärtsilä, the diesel turbine manufacturer (LUCELEC). In 2010 LUCELEC’s generation losses were at 9.5% (LUCELEC Annual Report 2010). In August of 2010 the LCCC project partners hosted in collaboration with CARILEC and CSEP a regional energy-auditing workshop in St. Lucia with focus on providing fundamental knowledge to strengthen the capacity to carry out energy audits and recommend efficiency measures for public, commercial, and hotel buildings (LCCC 2010). 3.6.6 Demand Management LUCELEC recently began implementing an automated metering infrastructure (AMI), with 11,500 smart meters (equal to 20% of its customer base) installed at the end of 2009, and approximately 9,000 more were installed in 2010. The “AMI was one of the most significant contributing factors to a reduction in system losses—an indication that our meter population was relatively old” (LUCELEC 2009, p. 17). 3.6.7 Building Codes St. Lucia adopted the model OECS building code in 2001, and in 2009 established a National Technical Sub-Committee to develop the Caribbean regional building standards (RBS). During the 1990s, the government of St. Lucia led the region in developing the model OECS building code. Although the OECS code was a regional effort, the model document appears to be specific to St. Lucia, and thus some reviews of the code refer to the OECS code and St. Lucia’s interchangeably (Chin 2001). The code was implemented as part of a 2001 Physical Planning Bill, which includes laws on infrastructure and electricity. This bill gives responsibility for building code development, enforcement, and training to the Development Control Authority, and the Ministry of Physical Development, Environment and Housing (Government of St. Lucia 2001). An unofficial version of the code is available at http://foshlaninc.com/knowledgebase/ slu_building-codes/codepreface.htm (Foshlan 2005). The National Technical Sub-Committee was formed by St. Lucia Bureau of Standards (SLBS) in 2009 to coordinate input from St. Lucia to the Caribbean Regional Building Standards model code. The committee is composed of various stakeholders from the nation, including professional organizations of engineers, architects, and contractors, the Development Control Authority, the Ministry of Housing, and the Ministry of Communications, Works, Transport and Public Utilities (St. Lucia Bureau of Standards 2009). 3.6.8 Electrical and Lighting Codes The SLBS publishes a list of standards, including international standards that the nation has adopted concerning electrical equipment, power systems, and lighting. The SLBS makes the standards available at cost. Although some standards are marked as “mandatory St. Lucia National Standards,” whether these standards are enforced or to what degree they are utilized is unknown (St. Lucia Bureau of Standards 2010, pp. 3–4). 78PDF Image | Energy Policy and Analysis Caribbean
