Dominica - Geothermal Project to Move to Drilling Stage by July, 2011

Government will seek to move to another stage in the implementation of the geothermal project within the next few months.

The results of the investigations to date have proven that the quality and quantity of the geothermal resource in the Wotten Waven area are extremely favourable and encouraging for generating electricity in Dominica.

Hon. Prime Minister, Roosevelt Skerrit, told a delegates conference on Sunday that considerable progress have been made to commence test drilling in the Water Waven area by July of this year.

“Preliminary reports from the experts fuel our optimism that the results of the drilling exercise will be successful. Consumers can thus look forward to a substantial reduction in their electricity bills in the medium to long term.”

Government will endeavour to make the necessary adjustments to facilitate the importation and transportation of the drilling rig and other equipment to access the drill sites and address matters that relate to private lands that may be affected. cont./

Dominica - 20 Best Trips of 2011

Dominica named as one of the 20 best trips of 2011 by National Geographic...


A lack of white sandy beaches and an overabundance of rainfall keep this mountainous island of tropical rain forests off typical Caribbean vacation itineraries—a plus for adventure seekers.

Perpetual geothermal and volcanic activity—there are seven active volcanoes—make 285-square-mile (739-square-kilometer) Dominica, located between Guadeloupe and Martinique, a paradise in progress. Venture into the rugged landscape Spiderman-style on an Extreme Dominica canyoneering tour, which takes visitors rappelling down pristine waterfalls, deep gorges, and volcanic bedrock canyons. The seven-mile round-trip hike from Titou Gorge to Boiling Lake, a vapor-covered cauldron that reaches 198º Fahrenheit (92º Celsius), is strenuous but worth the panoramic Caribbean views from atop 3,000-foot (914-meter) Morne Nicholls, as well as the chance to explore the Valley of Desolation’s brightly colored sulfur springs, mini-geysers, and bubbling mud pools. cont./
