FICHA DE PROYECTO:
DESCRIPCIÓN
The programme aims at mobilizing suitable and adequate resources to support geothermal energy development in the Eastern Caribbean. Ultimately, the project aims at establishing a geothermal power plant that could potentially represent up to 60 megawatts (MW) of base-load power for the Small Island Developing States.
RESULTADOS
- Reduced Eastern Caribbean countries’ dependence on imports of oil products for electricity generation (722,000 barrels of oil per year), that would represent 50 million dollars of savings per year.
- Stabilized and reduced electricity prices, which are currently indexed to fuel prices, contributing to the sub-region’s energy security and to further growth in economic sectors such as tourism.
- Interconnection of Eastern Caribbean countries with each other.
- The expected geothermal development will contribute to climate change mitigation and the nationally determined contributions (NDCs) by reducing 313,421 tCO2 per year.
