Carriacou Electricity History
Late Electrification
Prior to 1960 electricity was generated from a Delco (Generator) attached to the Anglican Church. This served only the Church, However in December 1960 the late H.A.Blaize switched on the lights in Hillsborough to formally introduce electricity to the town of Hillsborough. The Generator( Delco) was housed in the old fish market. Mr.Brown was the person in charge with Milton Blaize as his assistant.In 1972 electricity was taken to Windward by the late Sir Eric Matthew Gairy. This was to facilitate the playing of an electrical organ he donated to the church for the celebration of a memorial mass for all those who lost their lives on the City of St.George.
The rural electrification was started in the mid 1970’s however it was during the period of the Revolution that electricity was taken to the country areas. This trend was continued by all succeeding Governments. Carriacou can boast of 99.99 % electrification to date.
When electricity was government owned there were lots of load shedding due to demand exceeding supply.
Today under the management of GRENLEC customers can testify that they enjoy the best supply of electricity ever from Three Cummins Generators housed in a modern building with reserve generating capacity.
