Nevis Hon. Carlisle Powell stated recently that the Nevis Island Administration (NIA) was aggressively pursuing the development of geothermal energy. The Minister responsible for Renewable Energy & the Environment on Nevis said initially a project will be a test case for St Kitts and Nevis, and he hopes then to expand to the region.
Mr. Powell said two Nevisian engineers had already been trained at the La Geo Geothermal Plant in El Salvador, and one recently completed a Masters programme in Geothermal Reservoir Management at the United Nations University in Iceland. Two employees of the Nevis Electricity Services Company Ltd. will begin a geothermal training course in El Salvador in January 2011.
