Phase 1: Bouillante I The government developed Guadeloupe’s first geothermal power plant under a structure that included private sector participation. For the first geothermal plant, responsibilities for developing the geothermal generation plant were divided between EURAFREP, a private French oil company, and EDF, the government-owned utility. EURAFREP was responsible for the development and operation of the production well, and EDF was responsible for building and operating the geothermal plant. EDF hired a private company to build the plant under a turnkey contract. This project structure allowed the government to access the private sector’s technical expertise and financing for the exploration, drilling, and operation of the production wells, as well as for building the power plant. However, it did not allow Guadeloupe to successfully generate power from geothermal resources because EDF did not have the technical expertise that it needed to operate and maintain the power plant. In the late 1960s, the government granted EURAFREP a resource concession that authorized it to explore and exploit the geothermal resource in the Bouillante geothermal field. In the first half of the 1970s, EURAFREP drilled four exploratory wells and one commercially viable production well.106 EURAFREP then operated the production well and sold steam to EDF under a steam sale contract.107 Once the production well was built, EDF was responsible for building and operating the generation plant. In 1987, it used a turnkey contract to hire Alstom, a private company, to build a 4.7 MW geothermal power plant.108 EDF then operated the power plant from 1987 to 1993. During this time EDF faced technical difficulties operating the plant, which resulted in limited plant availability (average plant availability was 4,000 hours per year).109 Figure 8.1 shows the project structure of the first phase of the geothermal project in Guadeloupe.
