HOUSE PASSES ELECTRICITY BILL ALLOWING INDEPENDENT GREEN ENERGY SUPPLIERS
Saint Lucia’s lower house has passed a major new energy law to overhaul the island’s power sector. The legislation aims to steadily lessen the country’s risky reliance on fossil fuel-driven power generation.
Crucially, the law officially cracks open the market by allowing independent green energy suppliers to generate electricity for the national grid.
Infrastructure Minister Shawn Edward declared that this modernized system is vital to secure the island’s economic future.
