The Caribbean nation of Dominica is poised to make a significant leap in renewable energy with the commissioning of its first geothermal power plant this December. This landmark project, developed in collaboration with international partners, aims to harness the island’s abundant geothermal resources to provide a sustainable and reliable energy source. The plant is expected to generate up to 10 megawatts of electricity, significantly reducing the country’s reliance on imported fossil fuels and cutting carbon emissions. Prime Minister Roosevelt Skerrit hailed the initiative as a transformative step toward energy independence and climate resilience. The project also aligns with Dominica’s broader vision of becoming the world’s first climate-resilient nation, as outlined in its Climate Resilience and Recovery Plan. Experts predict that the geothermal plant will not only bolster the local economy but also serve as a model for other small island states seeking to transition to renewable energy.
