AGP Executive Report
Last update: 11 hours agoGeothermal Energy in Guadeloupe: The Sud-Soufrière geothermal exploration permit has been granted to French renewables firm Albioma after a tender. The exclusive 5-year permit covers parts of Capesterre-Belle-Eau, Gourbeyre, Saint-Claude, Trois-Rivières, and Vieux-Fort (62 km²). Albioma’s plan runs through data review, surface surveys, modeling, and exploration drilling—though drilling itself still needs a separate request and environmental authorization from the Guadeloupe prefecture. Public consultations were held from 2022 to 2025 as part of the Environment Charter process. Euro Banknotes Update: The ECB says Guadeloupe and other overseas territories will be included in the next euro banknote redesign during the next phase, after the winning design is selected, with public input running until Sept. 21.
