DOMLEC does not have any demonstration or utility-scale PV plants, but there is distributed generation from both the government and hospitality sectors in isolated locations, including a small-scale PV system at Morne Diablotin National Park (Loy 2007, p. 9.25). The Rosalie Forest / 3 Rivers Eco Lodge has several isolated systems with SWH, micro hydro, PV, wind, and battery storage (Winston 2009). 3.3.9.2.5 Biomass and Other Dominica could possess viable biomass resources available from its forests and agriculture (Loy & Farrell 2005, p. 15). Domestic heating and cooking use a great amount of biomass in traditional roles; however no studies have been done to quantify this information or show potential for modern energy developments in this area (Posorski & Werner 2009, p. 61). 3.3.10 Interconnections Dominica has so much geothermal potential that interconnections with the neighboring French islands of Martinique and Guadeloupe are considered to be an essential part of Dominica’s energy future (Loy 2009, p. 14). Indeed, much of the funding for RE assessment has come from Europe due to these interests, and this is expected to continue as financing for development of the resource (Fadelle 2009, p. 19). Sponsors of these past studies include EU’s Interreg IIIB program and ADEME (the French Environment and Energy Management Agency) (Posorski & Werner 2009, p. 62). The Dominican government intends to build interconnections capable of exporting at least 40 MW each to Guadeloupe and Martinique (Fadelle 2009, p. 27). As an active player in the operation, West Indies Power also considers this power interconnection to be a critical component of development in Dominica (McDonald 2009). 3.3.11 Energy Sector Regulatory Framework Analysis In 2004, the CREDP/GTZ prepared country studies on “The Status of Energy Policy in Selected Caribbean Countries.” The status of energy policy in Dominica was assessed but, although a few things have remained unchanged, there has been significant development on the policy front. 3.3.12 Legal and Regulatory Framework • A draft sustainable energy plan (SEP) was completed with assistance from GSEII/OAS. This plan was updated in October 2009. • Specific targets for the electricity sector until 2008 were set: stabilizing peak demand and increasing the renewable energy standard share of installed capacity to almost 50%; and any such accomplishment would be dependent on approval of the SEP. To date, these targets have not been met. In fact, the recently updated SEP, which has not yet been finally approved, indicates in Action 7 that a renewable energy portfolio standard (REPS) for Dominica will be established and that the REPS will “impose that at least 50% percent of installed capacity shall be renewables-based by 2020” (Government of the Commonwealth of Dominica 2010a, p. 18). • A long-term goal was established by the government to provide 65% to 70% of electricity from hydropower by 2015. Currently, only 4% of hydropower is contributed to the energy mix (Government of the Commonwealth of Dominica 2010b, pp. 14). • Previously, 50% of DOMLEC was owned by a private company (WRB Enterprise) and the rest owned by the Dominica Social Security Scheme and the Government of Dominica. DOMLEC now is a majority privately owned utility company. The Dominica Private Power Ltd, a company registered in the Turks and Caicos, owns 52% of DOMLEC’s shares, Dominica Social Security holds 21%, and the remaining 27% are held by members of the public. 47PDF Image | Energy Policy and Analysis Caribbean
