Every time there’s a Tropical Storm in St.Lucia it’s a problem with That Lucelec Company .Too many Trees over the Electrical wires it’s a Disgrace to Drive around St.Lucia to witness this Nonsence.Lucelec Collects Millions of Dollars in profit from Customers every Month and their Service is Minus Zero. St.Lucia needs another Electricty Company so you would have a Choice .Every Damm meat and Fish I have in my Freezer will spoil .This is Really Shit with Lucelec
Lucians, always remember to be thankful in everything. Those of us who are fortunate enough to have maintained a steady supply of electricity despite last night’s storm, ought to be giving thanks at this time, and should also be praying for those who may not be as fortunate.
Big Thanks to Lucelec , The power just restored from last night @10 up north. Thanks to all EMS, Fire dept, RSLP ect well done roads are clear.
