Survey Report OECS Regional Collaboration on Geothermal 2016

Online survey: The Role of Geothermal in the OECS Region1.

BACKGROUND

All Countries of the Eastern Caribbean are almost totally dependent on imported fossil fuel despite their significant potential for renewable energy such as solar, hydro, wind and geothermal. In recent years geothermal energy has emerged as a priority for the sub-region and the scientific evidence shows a strong potential for development: Currently, seven of the ten OECS Member States are working toward the development of their geothermal resources.
