14.3.1 Resource potential and development 14.3.2 Planned project The geothermal resource has been further explored in Nevis than it has been in Saint Kitts. In Spring Hill, Nevis, West Indies Power drilled slim-hole wells during 2008 that suggest an estimated potential of 500 MW.358 However, full-size wells have not been drilled to confirm the size of the resource, and more conservative estimations suggest an estimated potential of upwards of 50–60 MW.359 West Indies Power invested approximately US$14 million to carry out surface exploration and drill slim-hole wells.360 To date, the NIA has not invested any funds in the project.361 Despite some evidence of geothermal potential on Saint Kitts, surface studies suggest that it is of lower quality than the resource in Nevis and therefore it would be more time consuming and expensive to develop.362 However, the government plans to continue surface exploration in Saint Kitts with support from the Clinton Foundation.363 This support is one part of a technical assistance program that also aims to expand other renewable energy technologies. The NIA has indicated interest in a two-phase plan to develop geothermal resources in Nevis.364 Phase 1 would build a 9 MW geothermal power plant to meet demand in Nevis. Phase 2 would build a 40–50 MW geothermal power plant to export electricity to Saint Kitts (or neighboring islands). Figure 14.3 presents the status of Phase 1 and Phase 2 of the geothermal project. The NIA has advanced significantly in Phase 1, but has made less progress for Phase 2. 358.
