Charlestown, Nevis
November 7, 2008
Teachers of Science and Technology in Nevis and St. Kitts have had the benefit of a first hand look at the significant progress being made in the development of geothermal energy in Nevis by the Nevis Island Administration.
The opportunity was provided them yesterday when they visited Nevis 3 geothermal well at Hamilton as part of a one-day training workshop in the area of renewable energy resources.
Among the resource persons at the workshop was Lecturer in the Department of Physics at the University of the West Indies, Trinidad and President of the Caribbean Solar Energy Society Dr. Indra Haraksingh. She told the Department of Information that she was excited about the strides made in renewable energy on Nevis.
“This project here in Nevis is long over due and it is very exciting times for Nevis, very exciting times for the Caribbean and for the world because powering here in Nevis through geothermal is fantastic in terms of being able to send it through the other islands because the other islands also have high electricity prices,” she said.
