The Caribbean Electric Utility Services Corporation (CARILEC), is reflecting on 30 years of service to the people of Saint Lucia and the wider Caribbean. As part of its 30th anniversary celebrations, the association of electric energy service providers has also taken the opportunity to announce its new strategic plan to the public for the period of 2018 – 2022, which includes reshaping the outlook of the organization.

According to Executive Director Dr. Cletus Bertin, at a retreat in July 2017, the Board of Directors decided that it was necessary for the association to reposition itself as a result of changes taking place in the global environment.

Dr. Bertin outlined several of the future goals for the association, some of which include collaborating with stakeholders, building capacity internally and throughout the sector, and assisting its members to develop world-class sustainable energy solutions for the people of the Caribbean region.

As part of its anniversary celebrations, CARILEC will also recognize and honor those individuals who have made significant contributions to the organization’s success, development, and advancement in the region’s electricity industry over the years.
