Prime Minister, Hon. Roosevelt Skerrit held talks with President of the Executive Council of Martinique, Mr. Serge Letchimy, on Monday, January 31, to further explore cooperation on geothermal energy development.
The leaders met virtually to discuss proposals for a commercial agreement with Martinique for the sale of renewable energy.
Dominica is developing a Geothermal Plant in the Roseau Valley to increase the use of renewable energy in the provision of cheaper electricity, through the responsible exploitation of the island’s geothermal resource.
Prime Minister Skerrit assured Mr. Letchimy of Dominica’s technical capacity to share the valuable resource with the neighbouring French territory at a competitive price.
Martinique will send a technical team to Dominica for further talks and to observe the geothermal development. Mr. Letchimy also signaled his intention to make a case for a ‘Declaration of Intention to Cooperate‘ to the Martinique Assembly by the end of March.
“We are ready to receive the delegation on this important visit. We have enjoyed very long and mutually beneficial relations with Martinique and we are very keen on partnering on geothermal energy,” Prime Minister Skerrit told the Martinican leader.
The Government of Dominica has drilled five (5) wells as part of the exploration process and to prepare for commercial development, and is preparing to drill two additional wells.
Prime Minister Skerrit was joined at the meeting by Minister for Planning, Economic Development, Climate Resilience, Sustainable Development, and Renewable Energy, Hon. Dr. Vince Henderson and Minister for Public Works and the Digital Economy, Hon. Cassanni Laville.

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.
