Dominican Republic oks 23 MW of solar projects

• The Dominican Republic's national power commission (CNE) on Tuesday signed conclusive concessions with a sponsor that seeks to construct 2 solar photovoltaic or pv (PV) farms with an integrated capacity of 23 MW/25.41 MWp in the Caribbean nation.

The concessions were approved to Los Jovillos Solar FV SAS, the firm promoting the 13.8-MW/ 14.97-MWp Los Jovillos Solar and the 9.2-MW/ 10.44-MWp Las Barias solar schemes.

Both projects will certainly be located in the municipality of Azua, in the province of the same name.

There are 15 large-scale constructions ongoing around the country today as there is less paperwork as well as even more panels with the existing Dominican management, commented CNE executive supervisor Edward Veras.
