3.6.10 Renewable Energy Table 19. St. Lucia Renewable Potential Hydro Wind Geothermal Solar Biomass and Other 150 kW 40 MW 170 MW 36 MW (PV) unknown Technology Value Sources: Hydro, wind, Loy 2007, pp. 139,156; geothermal, solar, Nexant 2010, p. 8.36. Both geothermal distributed PV installations also exist, their market adoption has been slow. In terms of policy, there has been limited success in implementation of the SEP. The government has waived import duties and consumption taxes on renewable energy equipment since May 1999 (Loy & Farrell 2005, p. 39), and added incentives for solar water heaters in 2001. In 2004, it held an energy awareness week, promoting efficient lighting and including an energy-auditing workshop for the hospitality sector (GSEII 2009). The major goal of building commercial and distributed RE capacity, however, has not yet been achieved (Loy 2007, p. 156). 3.6.10.1 Hydro St. Lucia has the potential for about 150 kW of hydro power at the Roseau Reservoir, which could be used for water delivery (Loy 2007, p. 139). Its use, however, would require excess flow of water, and the island has experienced significant droughts twice in the last decade (2001 and 2010) (Bishop 2010). 3.6.10.2 Wind Wind power has been considered commercially since at least 1995, when a foreign partnership proposed a 13.5-MW wind farm (Loy & Farrell 2005, p. 38). With the St. Lucian government, LUCELEC also considered a 4.25-MW wind farm at Point de Caille in 2004. In the second case, the utility was unable to secure the site from its hospitality-industry owners (GSEII 2009). Finally, in 2007, LUCELEC began its current development of a 12.6-MW Sugar Mill wind farm at the Rouane Estate, where wind speeds average more than 7 m/s. CREDP/GTZ estimated that, at this average speed, the generation costs would be below fuel costs alone at U.S. $.08 per kilowatt-hour (Loy & Farrell 2005, p. 38), with a potential capacity of 40 MW at this site (Loy 2007, p. 156). In 2009 the organization agreed to provide LUCELEC with financial and technical assistance in the project (LUCELEC 2009, p. 15). As per December 2011, no further development is reported due to problems in acquiring the land for the wind farm site. 3.6.10.3 Geothermal There have been numerous studies of geothermal potential in the region (Coles 2004, pp. 7–9). Loy and Farrell provide a summary of these studies, conducted from the 1960s until 2004 (Loy & Farrell 2005, pp. 40–41). Objective estimates of St. Lucia’s geothermal potential are in the range of 25 MW, but only geophysics and geological surface techniques could show the real geothermal potential available (Nexant 2010, p. 8.36). In 2004, however, a Canadian group called the Unified Network of the Eastern Caribbean (UNEC) signed an agreement to partner with the government to develop resources in the Soufriere (Sulphur Springs) region (Loy 2007, p. 141). This company has since evolved into the United States–based Qualibou Energy Inc. (Qualibou Energy 2008). Qualibou recently announced an updated and wind are being developed commercially.
