Lucelec seeks EPC contractor for 3-MW Caribbean solar park

St Lucia Electricity Services Ltd (Lucelec), the sole power supplier on the Caribbean Island Of Saint Lucia, is seeking a developer for a 3-MW solar project.

A Request for Proposals (RfP) for the solar farm’s engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) has been launched, as announced at the start of the week. The power company aims to have at least 1 MW of photovoltaic (PV) power capacity up and ready to run by end-2016.

The project is planned for a site north of the Hewanorra International Airport. Lucelec will provide the funding and will manage the park after it is online.

The 3-MW system is estimated to produce 5% of the island’s needs.
