Antigua and Barbuda stands to gain from Dominica’s geothermal energy development, following a site visit by regional journalists on the final day of the CETRI workshop in Roseau Valley.

Led by journalist Alison Kentish, the tour offered media representatives, including those from Antigua and Barbuda, a first-hand look at the plant’s infrastructure and potential.

The facility, expected to be completed by December 2025 and operational by January 2026, is designed to provide clean energy for over 25 years.

Dominica’s Foreign Affairs and Energy Minister Dr Vince Henderson underscored geothermal power as critical to regional energy security.

“Solar has its place, but geothermal offers clean, consistent power around the clock,” he said.

Dr Henderson noted that the initiative is already spurring collaboration across the region, with Antigua’s engineers and energy professionals expected to gain valuable training and experience.

“This is not just a Dominican project — it’s a Caribbean one,” he said. “It’s about shared expertise, opportunity, and a sustainable future.”

  1. That would be great, but the USA and others has been putting on blinkers on our eye by pushing wind and solar and LNG power, and the geothermal, because they don’t want us to ever consider nuclear power plants, or else they are scared other super power nations could rise up, it is our African continent and brothers that possess the uranium but we will have to change our education system from been just servants to production and science and nit all this theology thing that is made to keep us myopic.
    If we get geothermal or nuclear power then cost of living will be great and possible manufacturing etc. a person who is a welder could weld and fabricate all they want on a large scale making price come down, by the way the Antiguan engineers should be sent to Russia or china to study the subject rather than go participate as spectators to gaff about what they have seen. The Americans won’t teach that to our academics, we have people from antigua and from Granville in specific( sorry to be still calling slave names) that excelled in physics and maths and the USA government gave him citizenship and have him working in NASA, and if they can’t get them they are killed like how you see Israel did to the Iranian scientist, they want such education to be esoteric,Our government have to stop being a marionette for the west to keep the people poor and docile to facilitate western hegemony.

    • I agree nuclear and Geo are currently the best in terms of large and dependable renewable power generation and it’s easily scalable to help industrialize Antigua again. I’ll be honest Dominica wasn’t even a place I had in mind for geothermal since Monsterrat is in eye view. And let me tell you if Antigua had places for all our people that are working at Google, Nasa, Facebook and other large names what a place Antigua would be

  2. Dominica is indeed a leader in Technology in the Caribbean when it comes to renewable energy through Hydro and Geothermal.
