Transmission Network Is Next For Dominica’s Geothermal Project

Dominica Geothermal Development Company is now welcoming proposals and bids for the next step in developing the country’s first geothermal plant.

The Dominica Geothermal Development Company (DGDC) has issued a call for Expressions of Interest (EOI) for work on developing the transmission network in line with the geothermal project in Roseau Valley, Dominica, ThinkGeoEnergy reported.

Contractors are needed for the design, supply, and installation of four substations, and the “design, supply, and installation of new 69 kV overhead, 33 kV underground, and 11 kV transmission lines connecting DGPP to the existing Fond Cole switching substation.”

The World Bank funds a part of the geothermal project, and procurement of contracts will be determined via the World Bank’s standards on Procurement Regulations.

All interested companies are encouraged to contact DGDC through Rita Destouches-Edmund, Finance and HR Manager, at TransmissionNetwork@geodominica.com.

Aside from the World Bank, Dominica’s Citizenship by Investment (CBI) Programme also funds the geothermal project.
