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).
High solar potential, along with integrating efficiencies and economies of scale, can make solar energy a viable resource for the Dominican Republic. Similarly, wind energy has strong potential, particularly in the southwest.
The issues of grid capacity and storage, in particular, are curbing expansion at normative and technological level. The Dominican Government continues to expand renewable energy, electromobility and energy storage technologies and is reducing emissions of greenhouse gases.
