Daily news on science and technology in Guadeloupe

Over the last 12 hours, the most technology-relevant signal in the provided coverage is Ormat Technologies’ strong financial update. Ormat reported first-quarter 2026 results with total revenues up 75.8% year-over-year to $403.9 million, alongside improved operating income and large gains in adjusted EBITDA and adjusted diluted EPS. The company also highlighted “meaningful progress” on its EGS (enhanced geothermal systems) strategy and strengthened its financial position via the closing of a $1 billion convertible notes offering, while reiterating its 2026 full-year guidance. Separately, the only other clearly “tech-adjacent” item in the most recent set is a partial excerpt on U.S. goods/services trade (March 2026), but the evidence provided is too limited to extract specific directional conclusions.

In Guadeloupe-linked energy developments from the broader 7-day window, there is clearer continuity around geothermal. A financing package of EUR 25 million was reported for capacity expansion at the Bouillante geothermal power plant in Guadeloupe, including EUR 3.2 million from the Banque des Territoires and a EUR 22 million loan from Bpifrance. The funding is described as supporting exploratory drilling, infrastructure optimization, and equipment modernization aimed at improving energy efficiency and reducing operating costs—an explicit “energy transition” investment theme that complements Ormat’s broader geothermal/EGS progress (though the Ormat excerpt does not explicitly connect to Bouillante in the text shown).

Also within the 3–7 day range, Guadeloupe appears in the context of digital/creator marketing and media production rather than core technology policy. Expedia’s yearlong partnership with creator IShowSpeed kicked off with a nearly 12-hour livestream traveling across four Caribbean locales including Guadeloupe, framed as “connecting culture with our brand” through authentic storytelling. Separately, BBC coverage indicates Death in Paradise will return for two more seasons, with filming beginning on Guadeloupe this week—again not technology news per se, but notable for local media production activity.

Finally, the dataset includes a mix of non-technology items that provide background but don’t strongly change the tech picture: EU “war games” and related policy discussion, a data-driven look at religious diversity, and cultural/history pieces (including a book review focused on German U-boat activity in the Caribbean). The only other Guadeloupe-specific “science/health” angle is a report about a French divemaster developing an underwater mindfulness protocol after panic attacks, with the subject now based on Guadeloupe—however, the excerpt is not framed as a broader technological breakthrough, so it reads more like applied wellness reporting than a tech development.
