Dominica’s Geothermal Power Plant: On Track for Christmas Completion

By Caribbean Business Report

Construction is advancing steadily in Dominica on a 10-megawatt geothermal power plant to become the second in the OECS and the first in the Caribbean Community (CARICOM), with a targeted completion date of Christmas Day December 25, 2025. Hon. Dr. Vince Henderson, Minister for Foreign Affairs, International Business, Trade and Energy, provided a comprehensive update on the project’s status.

 By harnessing the Nature Isle’s volcanic potential, the facility, located at Laudat in the lush Roseau Valley, promises to significantly reduce fossil fuel dependency while providing stable, clean energy to some 23,000 Dominican homes, according to the Dominica Geothermal Development Company (DGDC), the public-private partnership driving the power project.

The commissioning of the Laudat plant is expected to be an early milestone in the OECS Decade of Action for Sustainable Energy Development, launched in February with the Basseterre Declaration by the Council of Ministers: Energy, at its third meeting in St Kitts and Nevis.

 The goal is to ensure that at least 30 per cent of the region’s electricity comes from renewable sources by 2035, though several Member States have pledged to ramp up to full green power by then.
