After a year of exploration, St. Kitts geothermal developer estimates potential between 18 and 37 MW. Minister of Energy, Honourable Ian Patches Liburd said that developer, Teranov who in September 2015 joined forces with the government of St. Kitts to assess geothermal potential on the island, had found positive prospects for the resource.
“I am happy to report that an independent assessment of the geothermal source prospects on St. Kitts was completed by Geothermal Resource Group Inc. (GRG), a global leader in geothermal resource exploration, development and resource assessment,” said Minister Liburd. “This resource assessment, which was conducted in accordance with the geothermal reporting code AEGA 2010 has found that the Brimstone Hill prospect represents an inferred geothermal resource with an estimated generation potential of 18 to 37 megawatts based on the results of geologic, geochemical and geophysical exploration results conducted and documented by Teranov.”
