Below we provide a more in-depth description of the bodies with major responsibilities in the electricity sector. • Policymaking—There are two ministries responsible for developing policies in the energy sector. - The Ministry of Finance is responsible for developing sustainable energy policies.328 - TheNevisMinistryofCommunications and Works, Public Utilities, Posts, Physical Planning, Natural Resources, and Environment (“the Nevis Ministry of Natural Resources”) is responsible for developing environmental policies and overseeing the use of natural resources.329 The Geothermal Resource Advisory Committee, headed by the minister responsible for natural resources, coordinates and implements renewable energy policies related to geothermal resources.330 • Regulation—The PUC Act mandates that the PUC be established as an independent regulator. However, the PUC has not been appointed. Instead, the Ministry of Housing carries out some regulatory functions. The Ministry of Housing is responsible for overseeing NEVLEC and has the power at the national level to grant and revoke electricity licenses to generate, transmit, and distribute electricity.331 • Generation, Transmission, and Distribution— NEVLEC, a wholly state-owned enterprise, holds the exclusive license to transmit and distribute electricity. This license does not have an expiration date. IPPs can operate in Nevis, but they must sell their electricity to NEVLEC.332 Currently one IPP operates in Nevis, which produces wind power.333 The Saint Kitts Electricity Company Limited (SKELEC), a vertically integrated state-owned electricity utility, holds an exclusive license to provide electricity in Saint Kitts. Saint Kitts has coverage of 95 percent.334 In 2015, SKELEC owned 43 MW of generation capacity, and had a peak demand of 24 MW.335 The Electricity Supply Act of 2011 establishes the structure of and regulates the electricity sector in Saint Kitts. There is no independent regulator. The Ministry of Housing is responsible for the oversight of public utilities at the national level. The Ministry of Finance is responsible for developing energy policies that apply to the Federation.336 The government has drafted, but not approved, a Draft National Energy Policy and a Draft National Energy Action Plan. These documents outline the government’s objectives of increasing the use of renewable energy and improving the efficiency of electric utilities in the Federation. 14.2 Overview of the Electricity Sector in Saint Kitts 328.
