Geothermal energy has emerged as a priority within the Eastern Caribbean States.
The Caribbean Community Secretariat and the Organisation of Eastern Caribbean States (OECS) Commission are partnering with the Government of Saint Kitts and Nevis to jointly host a Regional Geothermal Forum under the theme “Opportunities and Synergies for Collaboration.”
The three-day forum will be held in Basseterre from May 10 – 12.
Geothermal energy through scientific evidence, has emerged as a priority within the Eastern Caribbean States namely Dominica, Grenada, Montserrat, Saint Lucia, Saint Kitts and Nevis, and Saint Vincent and the Grenadines. The forum comes at a period of increased interest and activity with respect to geothermal energy development within the CARICOM region.
The meeting, which organizers welcome as timely, will be attended by officials from relevant ministries and government agencies engaged in the development of geothermal projects within the resource-rich countries of the OECS.
Representatives of multilateral institutions, international development partners and international financing institutions, as well as private sector developers and investors, will also be present.
