DOMLEC takes this opportunity to inform our valued customers that the Geothermal Project is now in an advanced stage of commissioning.
To date, we have tested and energised key sections of the new 33kV transmission system. This includes critical equipment at Fond Colé and Laudat, as well as the 33kV underground transmission line interconnecting both sites.
The geothermal generators were successfully started and loaded at the end of the first week in March using an existing portion of DOMLEC’s network.
From today, geothermal power will be exported via the new transmission system. This does not mean that power will be exported from the Plant 24 hours each day. As the commissioning process continues, the geothermal generators may be turned off or adjusted. As the project team continues testing and commissioning the newly installed equipment, customers are advised that there may be the possibility of unplanned outages over the next few days as part of this process.
We understand the inconvenience that outages may cause and sincerely appreciate your patience and understanding as we work through this critical phase. These activities are necessary to ensure the safe, reliable, and efficient integration of geothermal energy into our national grid.
This project represents a major step forward for Dominica’s energy future—strengthening energy security, increasing the use of renewable energy, and reducing dependence on imported fossil fuels and the accompanying volatility of fuel prices.
DOMLEC remains committed to keeping you informed and thanks you for your continued support as we deliver a more sustainable and resilient energy system for all.

It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using ‘Content here, content here’, making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for ‘lorem ipsum’ will uncover many web sites still in their infancy.
