Consortium lands Dominican Republic solar plant contract
Dominican Republic
Dominican Republic state hydroelectric company Egehid’s push to add non-conventional renewable energies has advanced with a solar project award.
Documents seen by BNamericas show that Consorcio Solar del Sur (Consosur) was selected for the engineering, procurement and construction of the 22MW Domingo Rodríguez park in San Juan province.
Consosur is comprised of RAAS Solar and Solar World Stain and the contract value is 1.11 billion pesos (US$19 million). The consortium has 12 months to complete the project.
For its part, Caribbean Coast General Contractors was awarded the contract to supervise the work.
In recent days, Egehid put into operation a 3MW solar array at the Brazo Derecho hydro, which the company said, “marks the beginning of an ambitious plan to diversify Egehid’s generation matrix.”
The state operator has bidding underway for the 50MW Tierra Nueva wind project and its development pipeline includes the 10MW Brazo Derecho wind project.
Egehid also has a call in place to build the La Gina multipurpose hydro project, the bidding deadline for which was extended to September 10.
