pp. 9.4, 9.12). In 2008, DOMLEC received U.S. $1.4 million in funding—to repair Padu—from insurance claims on the plant. Repair has taken longer than expected due to the timing of insurance settlement, and because the manufacturer is out of specific electromechanical components (DOMLEC 2008, pp. 15, 20). Dominica has potential to expand its hydro capacity for both utility and distributed generation. Since 2003, the CREDP/GTZ has consulted in identifying additional hydro sites and in river gauging (Loy 2009, p. 11), which DOMLEC has continued (DOMLEC 2008, p. 21). There is interest in self-generation from several industrial enterprises and at least one resort, and there exists a number of potential IPPs. Particularly, the CREDP has assisted the Dominica Water and Sewerage Company in the Newtown project, for which utilizing an existing conduit could provide 150 kW of commercial output (Loy 2009, p. 11; Loy 2007, p. 9.4). 3.3.9.2.2 Wind The Rosalie Bay Resort installed a 225-kW wind turbine for self-generation in 2008; the first mid-scale wind development in Dominica. It is expected to produce 596 MWh annually, and surplus generation can be sold back to the grid (Posorski & Werner 2009, p. 64). Since 2003, the CREDP/GTZ has consulted with DOMLEC in wind development, reviewing historical wind studies and identifying potential sites on the island (Loy 2009, p. 10). Crompton Point is identified as having 10 MW potential, contributing to a total of 30 MW along the east coast of Dominica (Loy & Farrell 2005, p. 13). DOMLEC has continued this initiative but has had difficulty in acquiring the necessary land (due to the area’s small land parcels and unclear land ownership), and in facing the geographic and transportation challenges. Wind data was collected at the Pointe Mulâtre site from 2004 to 2006, and the utility has ordered two new measurement towers (DOMLEC 2008, p. 21). DOMLEC is developing seven of nine wind sites identified (Nexant 2010, p. 8.44). 3.3.9.2.3 Geothermal Geothermal has been explored in Dominica since 1977 (Loy & Farrell 2005, p. 14). Although some extremely optimistic studies have indicated the potential for as much as 1,390 MW (Joseph 2008), the geothermal potential for Dominica more often is cited as being a fraction of this estimate, ranging from 100 MW (Nexant 2010, p. 8.36) to 300 MW (Loy & Farrell 2005, p. 14). As discussed above, the development of the Wotten Waven site at the southern part of the island is the current priority of Dominica’s energy program (Fadelle 2009, p. 22). This site alone has been assessed as containing potential for up to 120 MW, through the use of up to 40 production and reinjection wells (Posorski & Werner 2009, p. 62). The government’s Energy Development Programme intends to produce at least 20 MW, reducing the cost of electricity to U.S. $0.06 per kilowatt-hour (excluding fuel costs) (Fadelle 2009, p. 27). The latest developments include the performance of more detailed planning and studying of the feasibility of exporting electricity generated from geothermal resources on Dominica to neighbouring island Martinique and Guadeloupe (European Investment Bank, 2012). Furthermore to carry out exploration and development efforts in another potential geothermal site, the government issued a license to West Indies Power (Dominica) Limited (WIP) in 2008. WIP is a regional geothermal IPP that currently is installing a plant in Nevis (West Indies Power 2009; Caribbean Net News 2010). The company performed geochemical, geophysical, and geological assessments for the site in 2008 (Fadelle 2009, p. 22), and was to begin drilling exploration wells in 2009 (Nexant 2010, p. 8.45). Note that the activities by WIP are not occurring at Wotten Waven, but at another site in Soufriere. 45PDF Image | Energy Policy and Analysis Caribbean
