How much electricity does Saint Lucia have?

LUCELEC has an installed electricity generating capacity of 78.4 megawatts (MW), with peak demand of 60 MW. Most of the island’s energy is produced from imported diesel fuel that powers electrical generators. Saint Lucia’s electricity rates are more than triple the U.S. average.

What is a micro steam turbine generator?

With the Micro Steam Turbine Generator, low steam flows and pressure differences are sufficient to generate power. The Micro Steam Turbine is not only substantially smaller than traditional steam turbines, but it is also completely Lube Oil Free and can be easily integrated into existing processes and factories.

Is Saint Lucia reliant on fossil fuels for electricity generation?

Like many island nations, Saint Lucia is almost 100% reliant on imported fossil fuels for electricity generation, leaving it vulnerable to global oil price fluctuations that directly impact the cost of electricity. Electricity Sector Data

Can a biomass plant be built in Saint Lucia?

A biomass plant requires large tracts of agricultural land and is not economically feasible. Rivers and waterfalls on Saint Lucia do not have a base flow rate sufficient to power water turbines. The most promising hydroelectric spot is the Roseau Reservoir, which can supply 150 kilowatts (kW).

How do I start the arc micro turbine generator?

Connect two 10GA electrical wires (+/-) to your load and two 6mm fuel lines (supply/return) to a fuel tank of your choice. ARC has a built-in feature to automatically prime the fuel system. Use a wired remote control (included in kit) to start the ARC micro turbine generator.

How much geothermal potential does Saint Lucia have?

The volcano that sits in the middle of Saint Lucia provides vast geothermal potential. Conservative estimates indicate more than 30 MW of technical geothermal potential; others estimate 170 MW. Estimates also show that development of this geothermal resource would likely be economically feasible.
