Construction has started on the first major solar-plus-storage project in the Dominican Republic, which features a 24.8MW/99MWh battery energy storage system (BESS). The Comisión Nacional De Energia (CNE) of the Dominican Republic announced the start of work on the Dominicana Azul solar project shortly in late December (22 December).

The Dominican Republic has several main objectives for its energy future. It wishes to supply growing demand for energy securely and affordably, ensure actors involved in the power sector make a profit, meet power supply quality standards and shift to a lower-carbon system.
If renewables could meet the demand for new electricity, the transport sector’s renewables share would increase accordingly. Biomethane is another potential technology option in the Dominican Republic transport system but no production has taken place yet. Today, more than 15 000 natural gas vehicles refuel at 27 service stations.
The Comisión Nacional De Energia (CNE) of the Dominican Republic announced the start of work on the Dominicana Azul solar project shortly in late December (22 December). Construction has started on the first major solar-plus-storage project in the Dominican Republic, featuring a 99MWh battery system.
The Dominican national energy commission CNE said that the solar farm will have a BESS of 24.8 MW of power and 99.2 MWh of storage capacity. The Dominicana Azul plant will be capable of producing around 176.4 GWh of electricity annually for the national grid. Zenith Energy will build the facilities in the Cabrera municipality.
