Construction of a 10 MW binary geothermal plant located in Laudat, in the Roseau Valley, is progressing.
Significant milestones have been achieved, with all major equipment delivered to the site. Key installations include the air-cooled condenser unit, heat exchangers, and piping assembly for the two Ormat Energy Converter (OEC) units. Foundation work for buildings and the injection pipeline route has also started, marking steady progress in the plant’s development.
In the coming weeks, construction will begin on the two-phase fluid pipeline and its associated station, further advancing the project’s timeline. The power plant, utilizing a reservoir drilled in 2012 with three production wells and one reinjection well, is designed to harness geothermal energy efficiently and sustainably.
GPC, a fully owned subsidiary of Ormat International, Inc., is developing the project under a Concession Agreement with the Government of the Commonwealth of Dominica, in collaboration with the Dominica Geothermal Development Company (DGDC). This partnership supports the nation’s goal of expanding renewable energy infrastructure to meet growing energy demands.
The 10-MW facility, equipped with two OEC units, is expected to contribute significantly to Dominica’s clean energy objectives, providing a reliable and sustainable power source. The project reflects a commitment to leveraging geothermal resources to support the island’s energy needs while promoting environmentally responsible development.
As construction progresses, GPC continues to focus on meeting key milestones to ensure the plant is operational by the target date. The successful completion of this project will strengthen Dominica’s renewable energy capacity, supporting long-term sustainability and energy security in the Roseau Valley and beyond.
