Regional Geothermal Potential
The Caribbean region is rich in geothermal potential, with several countries boasting significant hot springs and volcanic activity. This natural resource has the potential to provide a sustainable source of renewable energy, reducing reliance on fossil fuels and mitigating the impacts of climate change. • The region’s geothermal potential is largely due to its unique tectonic setting, which creates a high level of volcanic activity and heat flow.
Grenada’s geothermal resources could support a 15-megawatt power plant. Test drilling is currently underway, followed by production drilling. If successful, the project could reduce the country’s reliance on diesel by up to 55%.
GeoSmart: A Regional Initiative to Enhance Disaster Resilience in the Eastern Caribbean
GeoSmart is a regional initiative aimed at enhancing disaster resilience in the Eastern Caribbean. The program is funded by the Caribbean Development Bank (CDB) and is designed to support the development of early warning systems, emergency preparedness, and disaster response capabilities.
GeoSmart is a collaborative effort between the CDB, the Eastern Caribbean Supreme Court, and the Eastern Caribbean Civil Aviation Authority.
