Dominica is aggressively transitioning from a reliance on imported fossil fuels (over 85% of generation as of 2023) to 100% renewable energy, aiming to become the world’s first climate-resilient nation by 2030. A key 10-MW geothermal plant is set to begin commissioning by late 2025, alongside existing hydropower, solar, and wind projects to reduce high energy costs.
Dominica is advancing the Caribbean’s first industrial-scale, geothermal-powered green hydrogen project through a partnership between the government, Dominica Geothermal Development Company (DGDC), and Kenesjay Green Dominica Limited (KGDL). This initiative leverages the island’s estimated 1GW+ geothermal potential to produce hydrogen and ammonia for both local use and export.
