Dominica will not compete with Nevis in geothermal – Blackmoore
Blackmoore Dominica has given Nevis assurances that Roseau does not intend competing with it in the area of geothermal energy. That assurance from Minister of Public Works, Energy and Ports Rayburn Blackmoore during a recent visit to Nevis. Expressing gratitude to the Nevis Island Administration (NIA) for the opportunity to share in its geothermal development experiences, the minister told the Department of Information there that he held the view that both islands should dialogue with each other given the fact that they were both pursuing the development of geothermal energy. The Dominican Minister during last weekend’s visit held talks with the minister for natural resources and the environment in Nevis, Carlisle Powell.
