Leader of the Opposition Comments on the Pace of Geothermal Development

The leader of the parliamentary Opposition says the time is opportune for efforts to be intensified to have a geothermal plant in place.

Honourable Paul Lewis says the government of the day needs to fast track the public/private partnership under the renewable energy initiative.

He says that with two wells already proven with the resource, there is now the need to establish a geothermal generation plant.

Mr Lewis says that whatever final decision is reached, it must redound to the benefit of Montserrat and its people.
