AGP Executive Report

Last update: 5 hours ago

Geothermal Power Push: PM Roosevelt Skerrit says Dominica is the first Caribbean nation to place geothermal energy on its national grid, but outages continue during commissioning as testing and integration work wraps up—promising lower rates and less reliance on imported fuel. Energy Utility Results: DOMLEC reported $1.99 million in profit for the financial year, citing stronger sales and renewable performance, with geothermal expected to shape future electricity costs. Citizenship by Investment Tightening: Dominica will require successful CBI applicants to visit in person, spend time on island, and collect renewed passports locally—aimed at strengthening programme integrity and links to national development. Roseau North By-election: Miriam Blanchard resigned as MP on medical grounds; a by-election will be held within 90 days. Climate Resilience Funding: DOMCREP will invest $70.2 million to support 8,000 people across eight communities, including 520 farmers and agro-processors with climate-smart tech and irrigation. Agriculture & Food Security: Government plans a nearly $700,000 animal feed mill using locally grown cassava to cut import dependence and stabilize supply. Regional Trade Outlook: CARICOM COTED opened in Guyana amid warnings of higher fuel/food/fertiliser costs and weaker global trade, with resilience and trade policy coordination in focus. CARICOM Farmer Awards: Nominations are open for CARICOM Farmer of the Year and Young Farmer of the Year awards, due by end of June. Regional Innovation: Future Caribbean AI Buildathon applications are open until July 3, targeting AI solutions for regional challenges.
