6 FAQs about [Dominican Republic affordability of solar energy]
Is solar energy a viable resource for the Dominican Republic?
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.
How can the Dominican Republic integrate solar and wind resources?
The short-term variability and geographic diversity of the wind resource will need to be studied before implementation of projects. The Dominican Republic has created a framework for integrating solar and wind resources in its grid that can drive renewable energy adop-tion for years to come.
How much does energy cost in the Dominican Republic?
This profile provides a snapshot of the energy landscape of the Dominican Republic, a Caribbean nation that shares the island of Hispaniola with Haiti to the west. In 2014, the Dominican Republic’s utility rates were approximately $0.19 per kilowatt-hour (kWh),1 below the regional average of $0.33/kWh.
What is the current condition of the Dominican energy sector?
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.
How much electricity will the Dominican Republic generate by 2030?
Data provided by CNE and IRENA estimates show that the Dominican Republic could generate 16 TWh of electricity from renewables by 2030. This would be produced from a renewable power generation capacity of 6 GW (from a total installed capacity of 10 GW, including non-renewable technologies).
Which sector consumes the most energy in the Dominican Republic?
Transport: this sector consumes the most energy in the Dominican Republic yet national energy plans do not consider renewables deployment for the sector. Liquid biofuels could replace gasoline and diesel but no market exists. Demand needs to be created by setting targets.
