The Government of Dominica (GoCD) has developed a policy focused on achieving self-sufficiency in energy by 2020.
To achieve this goal, the government aims to exploit the island's geothermal resources to produce electricity and meet the population's needs. Meanwhile, it will maintain competitive energy costs, limit the impact on the local environment, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
The government has created a private company, the Dominican Geothermal Development Company (DGDC), to develop a 7MWe geothermal power plant in the Laudat region of the Roseau Valley. The geothermal plant and accompanying facilities will be built under a single engineering procurement and construction (EPC) contract.
