Dominica’s Move Towards Renewable Energy
A small but growing number of countries are well on their way to producing all of their electricity from renewable sources. Dominica, in the eastern Caribbean, is planning to join these pioneers and become the first small island developing State (SIDS) to stop using fossil fuels for energy generation.
The Power of Geothermal Energy
One of the key sources driving Dominica’s renewable energy ambition is geothermal energy. This form of energy offers stability in power generation, unlike wind and solar energy which can be intermittent. Geothermal energy provides a consistent energy supply day and night, making it a reliable source for the country’s energy needs. Additionally, geothermal energy production does not require surface real estate, preserving the natural beauty of the Roseau Valley.
