This Resettlement Action Plan (RAP) was prepared by Dominica Geothermal Development Company (DGDC) for the Dominica Geothermal Power Plant Project, located in the Roseau Valley, Dominica. The RAP has been developed based on the previous RAP, including the census information it collected, using the information from the updated reinjection pipeline route. This RAP has been updated with additional data collected by Eclipse Inc. during consultations for an ESIA1.
It is also important to note that, in September 2017, the Island was devastated by Hurricane Maria. This RAP has been developed post Hurricane Maria and reflects changes in land use, land acquisition and livelihood restoration for the Project post the disaster.
