Geothermal energy in the Solomon Islands
march 22, 2012

An Australian company Kentor Gold's subsidiary Kentor Energy is looking to dial in to the geothermal energy sector in the Solomon Islands. A group of men from the volcanic Island of Savo, Central Province said the government must actively pursue the proposal to utulise the dormant volcano. The men said the proposal if succeed would result in their Island contributing immensely to the welfare of people and the economy of Solomon Islands.

A legally-binding Surface Access Agreement has already been signed with customary landowners on Savo, and initial fieldwork during 2012 will involve geothermal mapping and a 3D geophysics survey which will focus on identifying an Inferred Geothermal Resource under the Australian Geothermal Reporting Code.
