114 INTERNATIONAL PUBLIC POLICY REVIEW The agreement with Iceland will create a positive result for the island of Dominica by improving human capital and resources and creating sustainable employment in a niche sector. Most importantly, as stated in a Memorandum of Understanding signed April 6, 2009, an important aspect of the initiative is capacity-building within relevant Dominican government institutions. With this purpose in mind, the United Nations Geothermal Training Program (UNU-GTP) in Iceland and short courses held on various continents in geothermal training are open for qualified candidates from energy institutions in Dominica (EDIN 2009). This secures not only the energy sec- tor of the Dominican economy, but also enhances the human resources of the coun- try and, by extension, the region. In Dominica, it is evident that energy security is high on the national agenda. Moreo- ver, there is a certainty that energy security can be guaranteed by exploiting the re- sources of our given context to ensure, by extension, economic survival. On 24 April 2009, the Minister for Public Utilities, Energy and Ports, Charles Savarin, realised that energy security also had great potential for enhanced economic prosperity. The minister spoke of a niche market, of renewable or alternative energy, in other island states. The minister pointed out that the challenge is toturn away from the estab- lished precept of seeing electricity as a public service good to be guaranteed and subsidized by Government, and treat our rich endowment in renewable sources of energy, more particularly hydro, geothermal and wind, as a resource to be harnessed and exploited for the production of electricity not only for local consumption but for export to neighbouring islands as well” (Government of Dominica ) . The partnership with Iceland is a strategic move to gain exceptional technical and professional expertise, advice and training in the most feasible options for exploiting geothermal energy. Iceland has been in the field of harnessing hydropower and geo- thermal energy since the 1970s, when the oil crisis struck Iceland in 1973 and 1979, Iceland changed its energy policy, deemphasized oil, and turned to domestic energy resources using hydropower and geothermal. As a result, Iceland is the world leader in the use of renewable energy- 81% of the nation’s primary consumption and 99% of electricity consumption is now from renewable (EDIN 2009). This is necessary for understanding the reality that energy security is not a far-fetched concept that can be successful only in countries of a specific region. In St. Kitts and Nevis a list is being compiled of energy options that are being utilized alongside each other to ensure energy security. In the move towards determining feasibility, reducing dependence on imported energy and lowering, or eliminating, energy costs, “Nevis’ geothermal energy exploration may provide a solution to high energy prices” (Caribbean Net News ). The Nevis Geothermal Power Plan Project will fund the creation of a geothermal power plant located at Spring Hill, Nevis. This plant will use two 5.8 MW TurboMax 1000 single flash condensing turbines, along with other necessary apparatus to produce 10 MW of electrical power. The Nevis Electrical Company (NEVLEC) will purchase the power produce by the project and redistribute it across the island.PDF Image | Confronting the Energy Security Dilemma of the Caribbean
