Tuesday, October 18, 2005 - The Government of St. Lucia has appointed an Energy Conservation Task Force to advise Cabinet on ways and means of energy conservation and consumption in these times of continuing fuel price rises.

The Energy Task Force will also act as a body to engage in discussions with the Venezuelan authorities on the PetroCaribe initiative and to recommend measures to maximise potential benefits accruing from this initiative.

Members of the Energy Conservation Task Force are: Mr. Louis Lewis of the Ministry of Finance; Mr. Evaristus Jn Marie of the Petroleum Dealers Association; Mr. Trevor Louisy of LUCELEC; Mr. Michael Sewardor of the Ministry of Communications, Works, Transport and Public Utilities; Mr. David Cox of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs; and Ms Judith Ephraim, the Sustainable Development Officer in the Ministry of Physical Development.
