Dominica re-emphasises importance of developing geothermal energy sector
Oct 08, 2013
ROSEAU, Dominica, CMC – The Dominica government Monday re-emphasised the importance of developing the island’s geothermal energy sector as the Independent Regulatory Commission (IRC) granted the island’s lone electricity supplier with two new 25 year licences.
Public Works, Energy and Ports Minister Rayburn Blackmoore said Dominica, like many other Caribbean countries, do not have natural gas or proven oil.
“But that notwithstanding we depend heavily on fossil fuel for energy generation. Last year for example, we spent through DOMLEC (Dominica Electricity Services Ltd) an approximately EC$50 million (One EC dollar = US$0.37 cents) for the express purpose of importing diesel for energy generation.
