St. Kitts and Nevis advances geothermal, cannabis, and water projects
St. Kitts and Nevis is advancing several key infrastructure and regulatory projects. In Nevis, the Nevis Electricity Company Limited (NEVLEC) has sent a team to Iceland to inspect the Drillmec HH-300 ‘Týr’ geothermal rig. Once certified by UK-based Scotia Drilling Consultants, the rig will be transported by sea to the Hamilton site to drill five geothermal wells.
In the medicinal cannabis sector, the Medicinal Cannabis Authority has contracted GrowerIQ to implement a national seed-to-sale tracking system. This system is designed to record all financial transactions alongside plant and batch data, ensuring compliance with national anti-money laundering and counter-terrorist financing regulations ahead of the first commercial licenses.
Additionally, the St. Kitts government reported a breakthrough in its groundwater drilling program. A new well in Saddlers reached a depth of approximately 640 feet, with initial testing yielding roughly 175 US gallons of water per minute. The project, conducted in collaboration with Trinidad and Tobago-based specialists, aims to expand water production and provide reliable 24-hour service island-wide.
