Dominica drafted a national energy plan in 2011 and revised it in 2014. The objective of the plan is to make electricity generation on the island self-sufficient by 2020 using sustainable and indigenous resources.
Dominica is expected to develop more than 100 MW of geothermal power and has secured funding for early-stage investment through the World Bank’s Geothermal Development Plan. The island may be able to secure additional international and private sector funding for these projects.
Dominica has a high solar potential with a solar resource of 5.6 kWh per square meter per day. The government has installed LED streetlights (in 2013 and 2014). Dominica also has approximately 30 MW of wind power potential, some of which is under development.
In the past, hydropower supplied 90% of Dominica’s electricity. However, as population and electricity demand grew, diesel generator use increased and hydropower share diminished. Dominica Electricity Services Limited (DOMLEC) is the sole electric utility with an installed electrical generating capacity of 23.8 megawatts (MW) and a peak demand of 17.2 MW.
Despite having three hydroelectric plants on the Roseau River that produce 27.4% of Dominica’s electricity supply in the present day, Dominica is not heavily reliant on imported fossil fuels as other islands in the region. In the 1960s, hydropower supplied 90% of Dominica’s electricity.
The electricity rates in Dominica, as of 2015, were $0.39 per kilowatt-hour (kWh)\. This is higher than the Caribbean regional average of $0.33/kWh.
