Here, too, photovoltaic technology is the method of choice. As the largest solar park in the Caribbean with a total capacity of 116 MW (phase I - 58 MW, phase II - 58 MW), the Montecristi solar park has laid the foundation for a sustainable turnaround in energy policy in the Dominican Republic.
The framework conditions for this are provided by the world's largest energy source, the sun. Global radiation is about double that of Germany. The Dominican Republic's energy supply is largely dependent on crude oil imports at present. The rising import price of this limited energy source is leading to increased interest in solar power.
The PEN presents the current condition of the Dominican energy sector while outlining its future development. The DR's installed generation capacity connected to the National Interconnected Electric System (Sistema Eléctrico Nacional Interconectado - SENI) is around 5,631.47 MW and the average peak demand is around 3,312 MW.
Despite the present administration's efforts to increase the installed capacity of electricity generation from renewable sources, the electric power sector continues to be one of the most significant problems affecting the Dominican economy.
Monte Plata Solar Plant, the nation''s flagship installation, demonstrates the scalability of solar projects, generating 60MW of clean energy while creating over 300 local jobs and attracting
