TLS Geothermics has been awarded the Pointe Sud Ouest geothermal exploration license area, which is now the 2nd license awarded to the developer in Martinique.
French geothermal development company TLS Geothermics has been awarded the geothermal exploration license for the “Pointe Sud-Ouest” license area in Martinique. This is now the second geothermal license given to TLS Geothermics after the award of the “Cœur Martinique” area in September 2023.
The “Pointe Sud-Ouest” exploration license covers an area of 54 km² onshore and 8 km² offshore, within the Territorial Collectivity of Martinique. The license is valid from the 25th of June 2024 for an initial period of three years.
The initial objective for the project is a 10-MW geothermal power plant using ORC technology with a seawater cooling system.
TLS Geothermics will be using all the data acquired in the past by the French Geological Survey (BRGM) as part of studies previously commissioned by ADEME and local stakeholders and will continue local consultation with the population with its partners.
