What is the Dominican energy project?
This project is designed to support the Commonwealth of Dominica in developing and integrating clean, sustainable and low-cost energy. Through this $38.5 million project, a new robust transmission network will be built to withstand natural hazards, strengthening Dominica’s electricity grid.
Does Dominica have a national energy plan?
Dominica drafted a national energy plan in 2011 and revised it in 2014. The objective of the plan is to make electricity generation on the island self-sufficient by 2020 using sustainable and indigenous resources.
How is Dominica transforming geothermal energy?
"Dominica is making significant strides in geothermal energy, with innovative investments to deliver clean, low-cost electricity to its citizens and thereafter, the Eastern Caribbean. With support from the World Bank and the Government of Canada, we are building a resilient network for geothermal energy transmission.
How will a new transmission network strengthen Dominica's electricity grid?
Through this $38.5 million project, a new robust transmission network will be built to withstand natural hazards, strengthening Dominica’s electricity grid. The challenges faced by Dominica, as a Small Island Developing State, are multi-faceted, stemming from natural hazards, topographical constraints, and external economic shocks.
Why is Dominica struggling with electricity?
Dominica's electricity sector is currently challenged by outdated infrastructure, largely dependent on aging diesel generators which result in high electricity expenses and an unreliable power supply, hampering the country’s competitiveness.
Does Dominica heavily rely on fossil fuels?
Despite having three hydroelectric plants on the Roseau River that produce 27.4% of Dominica’s electricity supply in the present day, Dominica is not heavily reliant on imported fossil fuels as other islands in the region. In the 1960s, hydropower supplied 90% of Dominica’s electricity.
