What are the challenges faced by Montserrat's re-sat project?

In-country challenges: • Timing and relevance are important for co-production: The RE-SAT project was well received by Montserrat due to their ambitions to transition to renewables as they saw an immediate opportunity to exploit the platform to their advantage. (Montserrat Energy Policy 2016-2030).

Does Montserrat need a geothermal plant?

To go beyond this, Montserrat is developing plans to ensure the electricity system can operate reliably. The target of 100% was based on information provided from the 2010 geothermal study4, and an Early Market Engagement exercise in 2017 to procure a 2.5-5MW geothermal plant which would satisfy 100% of the Montserrat energy requirement.
