Geodynamics Limited has completed the draft Environmental and Social Impact Assessment (ESIA) for the Takara Geothermal Power Project in Vanuatu.

The ESIA is currently being reviewed by the Vanuatu Department of Environmental Protection and Conservation, and will be on public display for consultation and comment until 20 October 2014.

The ESIA reviews the potential impacts of the proposed activities and assessed these against baseline conditions of the Takara area.

Mitigation measures and best practice guidelines have been set out in an Environmental and Social Management and Monitoring Plan (ESMMP) which forms an integral part of the report.

The delivery of the draft ESIA is a key step in the project which confirms that the project can be developed safely with low impact on the environment.

Further the report highlighted that the development of the Project would positively impact Vanuatu, by replacing imported diesel fuel with a sustainable locally produced electricity supply.
