Saint Lucia Energy and Environment Facts

Natural resources and energy

Saint Lucia lacks minerals and other natural resources of greater economic importance. The country’s main resource is rather the sandy beaches, which form the basis of the important tourism industry.

The country’s energy needs are still largely covered by imported fossil fuels in the form of oil and oil products. However, an investment is made on renewable energy sources, including geothermal heat, solar power and wind power. Saint Lucia aims to extract 35 percent of its energy consumption from renewable sources by 2020.
