The 2015 electricity rates in Dominica are $0.39 per kilowatt-hour (kWh), higher than the Caribbean regional average of $0.33/kWh. Like many island nations, Dominica is reliant on imported fossil fuels, leaving it vulnerable to global oil price fluctuations that directly impact the
Guided by these policies, Dominica can lower energy costs and potentially become self-sufficient in electricity by the year 2020. The Policy also charts a course for Dominica to become a net

Dominica: Per capita: what is the average energy consumption per person? When we compare the total energy consumption of countries the differences often reflect differences in population
One of the areas the Government was primarily committed to enhancing was Dominica''s potential for renewable energy. The power system currently relies on diesel fuel to produce electricity and is known to have one of

The electricity rates in Dominica, as of 2015, were $0.39 per kilowatt-hour (kWh). This is higher than the Caribbean regional average of $0.33/kWh.
Dominica drafted a national energy plan in 2011 and revised it in 2014. The objective of the plan is to make electricity generation on the island self-sufficient by 2020 using sustainable and indigenous resources.
In the past, hydropower supplied 90% of Dominica's electricity. However, as population and electricity demand grew, diesel generator use increased and hydropower share diminished. Dominica Electricity Services Limited (DOMLEC) is the sole electric utility with an installed electrical generating capacity of 23.8 megawatts (MW) and a peak demand of 17.2 MW.
Dominica has a high solar potential with a solar resource of 5.6 kWh per square meter per day. The government has installed LED streetlights (in 2013 and 2014). Dominica also has approximately 30 MW of wind power potential, some of which is under development.
Despite having three hydroelectric plants on the Roseau River that produce 27.4% of Dominica's electricity supply in the present day, Dominica is not heavily reliant on imported fossil fuels as other islands in the region. In the 1960s, hydropower supplied 90% of Dominica's electricity.
Dominica has a wind power potential of 10 MW at Crompton Point in Saint Andrew and an additional 20 MW elsewhere in the country. After reviewing nine wind studies, DOMLEC came to this conclusion.
