The Street spotlights Nevis for geothermal push and investor-friendly zones

Financial news outlet The Street is giving Nevis major credit for the way it’s reshaping its economy, pointing to bold moves in renewable energy, agriculture and foreign investment.

The article highlights the Nevis Geothermal Energy Project, backed by a $37 million partnership with Saudi Arabia, as a game-changer that could make the island fully renewable by 2030 — and even export clean energy to neighbours.

But it’s not just about power. The Street says Nevis is diversifying across the board, with modern farming techniques, new livestock facilities and events like the Agri Expo boosting food security and giving the island regional influence.

Another key focus is the Special Sustainability Zone bill, which allows the Nevis Island Administration to designate areas built around strict sustainability and infrastructure standards. These zones, backed by incentives like tax breaks and subsidies, are designed to attract high-quality global investment and create lasting jobs.

The message running through the piece is simple: while bigger islands are still debating how to diversify, Nevis is already moving. And by mixing heritage, clean energy and innovation, the island is showing the rest of the Caribbean what sustainable development can look like.
