The Ministry of Infrastructure, Ports Services and Energy collaborated with the management and staff of the Camille Henry Memorial School during its Science Day celebrations on Tuesday, November 10, 2026.
The outreach initiative, which was organized by the school as part of the school’s science day, sought to educate students on the importance of energy in everyday life and the growing role of renewable energy sources in Saint Lucia’s development.
Students were treated to an engaging and practical introduction to renewable energy, highlighting the importance of clean energy technologies and their role in building a sustainable future. This initiative underscores the ministry’s continued commitment to promoting energy awareness, fostering innovation and inspiring the next generation to embrace sustainable energy solutions.
The presentation generated significant interest among the students, who engaged actively with the demonstrations and discussions. Officials used the opportunity to explain the environmental and economic benefits of renewable energy, particularly its potential to reduce dependence on conventional energy sources and lower electricity costs over the long term.
Officials expressed hope that the exercise would extend its impact beyond the classroom, encouraging students to share the knowledge gained with their families and communities.
The ministry believes that increasing public awareness, particularly among young people, is essential to fostering greater acceptance and adoption of renewable energy technologies across the island.
