Dominica: The Dominica Electricity Services Limited (DOMLEC) has secured first place as the top experienced team overall at the 2026 CARILEC Lineworkers Symposium and Rodeo, which was held at Benjamin’s Park in Portsmouth from April 24-26. Team DOMLEC secured a total of 382 points, placing third in the High Voltage Fuse Cut-out Installation and second in the Three-Phase Equipotential Ground event.
The 2026 CARILEC Lineworkers Symposium and Rodeo had gathered more than 100 of the best Lineworkers across the Caribbean, including workers from APUA, NEVLEC, GRENLEC, VINLEC, BLPC and many more. During the three days, the teams underwent intensive training, which explored practical and applicable solutions relevant to their field, and took part in a competition that showcased their skills.
Following a fierce competition in different categories including Hurtman Rescue, Pole Speed Climb, HV Fuse Cut-out Installation, 3-Phase Equipotential Ground, and the Mystery Event, Team DOMLEC was awarded the overall experienced champion.
Among the events where the team showcased an impressive performance was the 3-Phase Equipotential Ground, where the team came in second place. This event tested how well the team could safely handle and protect themselves while working on a three-phase electrical system.
During the HV Fuse Cut-out Installation competition, which challenged the team’s technical accuracy, strict safety procedure and how steady they place their hands when under pressure, the team secured third place.
DOMLEC shared this momentous and proud achievement for Team DOMLEC on its official Facebook page, congratulating the participants for their achievements with a caption, “Congrats to Team DOMLEC who represented the best of this year’s CARILEC Lineworkers.”
