Beneath the volcanic landscapes of islands such as Dominica, St. Kitts & Nevis, St. Lucia, and Montserrat lies an untapped resource capable of delivering 24/7, climate-resilient baseload power.
Policy priorities to unlock this potential:

• Regulatory Certainty – Clear frameworks for exploration rights, licensing, and long-term PPAs.
• Risk Mitigation Instruments – Public-private risk sharing to de-risk drilling and exploration.
• Regional Integration – Coordinated planning for inter-island power trade and shared infrastructure.
• Local Capacity & Skills – Training programs to ensure communities benefit from long-term, high-value jobs.
• Climate Finance Access – Leveraging international climate funds for upfront investment in infrastructure.

By embedding geothermal into energy security policies, Caribbean islands can cut import dependence, stabilise electricity costs, and shield communities from global energy shocks — all while advancing climate commitments.

The takeaway: Investing in geothermal is not just an energy choice — it’s a strategic resilience measure for the Caribbean’s future.
