Dominica’s regulator confirms that the geothermal plant reached commercial operation on 31 July 2026 after testing. The project has moved beyond commissioning into electricity supply under its power purchase agreement.

What this means for businesses
For commercial electricity users, the next useful evidence is observed cost and reliability. Announced savings and actual bills should be compared over time.
