St. Lucia’s leading electricity utility provider, St. Lucia Electricity Services Limited (LUCELEC), recently gathered to celebrate the exceptional commitment and contributions of its workforce at the 2025 Staff Awards ceremony. Centered on the theme “Our People. Our Power. Our Success”, this year’s event put a spotlight on standout workers and collaborative teams whose tireless efforts drove the utility’s solid performance over the preceding 12 months, officially recognizing 6 teams and 62 individual employees for their outstanding work.
During the ceremony, LUCELEC Managing Director Gilroy Pultie walked attendees through the company’s key achievements from the past year, revealing that the firm secured a 120.64 corporate performance score out of a maximum 150. This result marks a notable improvement over the utility’s 2024 performance, signaling meaningful momentum across all operational areas.
Pultie emphasized that the strong performance was no accident, noting that the company made substantial progress on a slate of strategic initiatives designed to advance LUCELEC’s long-term vision. Even amid growing complexity across economic, technological, and regulatory landscapes, the team has maintained consistent, reliable service for all St. Lucian customers. “This outcome is the direct product of our collective effort, organizational resilience, and willingness to adapt as our industry evolves,” Pultie explained. “This is the standard we must continue building on: teams stepping up to meet challenges, individuals taking ownership of their work, a culture rooted in our core values, and a shared drive to rethink how we operate and innovate.”
LUCELEC Chairman John Joseph echoed this sentiment, stressing that the company’s skilled, dedicated workforce is the backbone of its strong industry reputation and consistent operational results. “These awards celebrate individuals and teams that deliver results while upholding the highest standards of LUCELEC,” Joseph said. He added that investing in employee growth is the cornerstone of the company’s strategic plan: building internal capabilities, strengthening organizational culture, and nurturing high performance within a values-led framework are critical to sustaining success, and will keep LUCELEC ranked among the most trusted institutions in St. Lucia.
Among this year’s top honorees were three Employees of the Year: Dona Emmanuel from the Planning Department, Kisha Browne from Credit Control, and Kedia Daniel, the company’s HR Business Partner. Ormond Reece, Senior Manager of Planning, took home the honor of Senior Manager of the Year. On the team side, the Generation Department earned the Large Department of the Year award, while the Office of Strategy Management was named Small Department of the Year. Trisha James received the “Power of Caring Impact Award” as Volunteer of the Year in recognition of her exceptional community outreach work. The ceremony also included special recognition for the LUCELEC Disaster Restoration team, which traveled to Jamaica to support recovery efforts in the wake of Hurricane Melissa.
Sharon Narcisse, LUCELEC’s Chief Human Resources Officer, reinforced the central role that employees play in the company’s mission. “At LUCELEC, our ‘power’ is about far more than just the electricity we generate and deliver across Saint Lucia,” Narcisse said. “It reflects the energy, commitment, resilience, innovation and teamwork of our people. It is our employees who power this company every single day.”
The annual Staff Awards ceremony has long been a core part of LUCELEC’s commitment to celebrating excellence, reinforcing a strong inclusive company culture, and nurturing a people-first high-performing organization.
