Nevis’ geothermal energy project will be a major focus of the Global Sustainable Islands Summit 2025, which St. Kitts and Nevis is set to host from May 25 to 30.
The summit will bring together global experts, government officials, and sustainability leaders to discuss critical issues affecting island nations, with Nevis emerging as a model for clean energy development.
On Friday, March 7, Premier of Nevis and Minister of Energy and Public Utilities, the Hon. Mark Brantley, along with Minister of Environment, the Hon. Spencer Brand, met with summit representatives to finalise key discussions. James Ellsmore, CEO of Island Innovation, the consulting firm working with the government to host the summit, confirmed that Nevis’ geothermal potential will be a highlight of the event.
“The forums taking place in Nevis will be very specific to some of the challenges and opportunities that work for this island,” Ellsmore stated. “There will be a geothermal energy forum taking place here to explore the relevance, of course, for the local economy and the opportunity that geothermal will bring to Nevis and other islands from around the world that are exploring their own geothermal resources.”
