Licensing in Dominica
The challenge IRC faced was providing a licensing framework for Regular Licenses (licenses other than interim licenses), especially generation licenses. Prior to the inauguration of IRC, there were already a number of existing and prospective independent power producers interested in investing in the generation of power in Dominica. It envisaged that a number of these companies will be approaching The IRC requesting licenses to enable them to commence operation.
To tackle this challenge, the Legal Support/Licensing Division will immediately have to review the terms in the Act and work on the drafting o a regulation on the application for licenses.
The draft regulation among other things provided for the manner and procedure for applying for a license.
