Martinique is to send a technical team to Dominica as the two islands seek to further enhance cooperation in the area of geothermal energy, according to a statement issued by the Office of the Prime Minister.
It said that Prime Minister Roosevelt Skerrit held talks with the President of the Executive Council of Martinique, Serge Letchimy, on Monday, “to further explore cooperation on geothermal energy development” and that the meeting also discussed proposals for a commercial agreement with Martinique for the sale of renewable energy.
“Dominica is developing a geothermal plant in the Roseau Valley to increase the use of renewable energy in the provision of cheaper electricity, through the responsible exploitation of the island’s geothermal resource,” the statement said.
It said that Prime Minister Skerrit assured Letchimy of Dominica’s technical capacity to share the valuable resource with the neighbouring French territory at a competitive price.
