Dominica Geothermal Risk Mitigation Project

Abstract*

The development objective of the Geothermal Risk Mitigation Project for Dominica is to help: a) diversify the domestic power generation mix in Dominica by integrating clean, renewable geothermal energy; and b) demonstrate the potential of larger development of the geothermal resource. It has three components. The first component, development of domestic geothermal power generation capacity will entail construction of a 7 MW (nominally) small geothermal...
