Drilling related to this country’s geothermal project is expected to begin in April this year, and by June, the government will have an idea of the full extent and quality of our geothermal resources.
According to Prime Minister Dr Ralph Gonsalves, US$15 million, a soft loan, has been secured from the Abu Dhabi Development Fund (ABDF) and that money will be utilized in the drilling phase of the geothermal project.
The Prime Minister said on Tuesday that the drill rig is on its way to St Vincent and the Grenadines (SVG) and by April 2, over 100 containers of equipment will arrive here.
