To this end, the OECS Energy Policy Implementation Dialogue: Transforming Development through Sustainable Energy was held from March 7-8, 2018, in Saint Lucia to provide energy focal points of the OECS an opportunity to collectively meet and strategise on policy and technical measures that will support and accelerate their national efforts on sustainable energy.
