Chief Executive Officer of West Indies Power Limited (WIPL) Mr. Kerry Mc. Donald told the Department of Information on June 25, 2008, that plans were well on the way towards providing geothermal energy for the island of Nevis in 2009.

He also spoke of his commitment to the initiative.

Dear Sir,

“Lets Avoid the Hype of Geothermal”

I have heard the oft repeated mantra by the NRP led Nevis Island Administration that the current exploration underway for geothermal energy will be the saviour for Nevis and that Nevis will become the supplier of electricity for St. Kitts, Anguilla, Saba, St. Maarten and as far away as the United States Virgin Islands. In a recent article in the Herald Newspaper in St. Maarten, the company now undertaking the exploration in Nevis, has raised expectations to astonishing degrees for the geothermal experiment.
