The OECS Commission has announced the commencement of a pivotal study tour to Guadeloupe, focusing on geothermal energy development. This initiative underscores the OECS’s commitment to advancing sustainable energy solutions and strengthening regional energy independence by tapping into the potential for indigenous, clean power from the heat beneath our feet.
This study tour, organised by the OECS Geothermal Energy Capacity Building for Utilisation, Investment and Local Development (GEOBUILD) Programme, from June 23-27, builds on a history of regional collaboration and learning in geothermal energy, facilitated by the OECS Commission and regional and international agencies. Guadeloupe has been a pioneer in the Caribbean, operating a geothermal electricity plant since 1986.
