Indian, US firms after Caribbean geothermal project contract
Three companies submitted offers to build the power transmission infrastructure for a 10MW geothermal project on the Caribbean island of Dominica.
The bidders were Indian companies Kalpataru Projects International and TransRail Lighting, and Souffront Construction and Engineering from the US, according to Dominica Geothermal Development (DGD).
DGD issued the call in November for the World Bank-financed contract which is for substations Trafalgar (2.2/33kV), Padu (33/11kV), Fond Cole (69/33/11kV) and Laudat (11kV), and associated lines.
The winner will have 90 days to submit detailed designs, 18 months for partial completion and 30 months for overall completion.
Dominica aims to achieve 100% electricity generation from renewables by 2030, primarily based on existing hydro and new geothermal sources. Current generation capacity comprises 20.1MW diesel and 6.6MW hydro.
