Discover the Matrisol renewable energy project, based on solar technology, located in the municipality of Cabrera, on the north coast of the Dominican Republic. The Dominican Republic is committed to transforming its energy mix, increasing the proportion of renewable energy to 25% by 2025, pursuant to Law 5707 on Incentives for the
As of early 2017, 88 percent of the Dominican Republic''s energy consumption comes from imported oil products, natural gas, or coal. The Dominican Republic, in partnership with the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) researched a scenario where it cuts that number down to at least 75 percent by the year 2025.
Minister Santos Echavarría highlighted the country''s goal of meeting 25% of its national energy demand with renewable sources by 2025, positioning the Dominican Republic as a leader in clean energy adoption. Given the country''s strategic location and abundant solar resources, this bold vision is inspiring and achievable.

Energy trade includes all commodities in Chapter 27 of the Harmonised System (HS). Capacity utilisation is calculated as annual generation divided by year-end capacity x 8,760h/year. Avoided
Dominican Republic: Energy intensity: how much energy does it use per unit of GDP? Click to open interactive version. Energy is a large contributor to CO 2 – the burning of fossil fuels accounts for around three-quarters of global greenhouse gas emissions. So, reducing energy consumption can inevitably help to reduce emissions.
The Dominican Republic is rapidly integrating renewable energy sources into its national grid. By 2025, they aim to achieve 25% renewable energy dependence. This ambitious goal has spurred significant growth, with renewable energy contributing nearly 19% of the country''s total energy demand in 2023.
Dominican Minister of Energy and Mines Antonio Almonte told his colleagues that the Dominican nation has taken large steps forward in the area of renewable energy, especially in the use of solar panels.
The energy deficit and dependence on fossil fuels drove the Dominican Republic to step up its commitment to clean energy. DOMINION took on the task of building the photovoltaic plant in this Caribbean country, with an offer that included everything from the design and construction of the plant to its operation and subsequent maintenance.
Minister Santos Echavarría highlighted the country''s goal of meeting 25% of its national energy demand with renewable sources by 2025, positioning the Dominican Republic as a leader in clean energy adoption.
The Dominican Republic produced 18.6 TWh of electricity in 2020; fossil fuels accounted for nearly 85% of production, followed by hydro (6.68%), wind (6.11%), solar (1.64%) and biofuels (0.90%). The DR has a high incidence of power outages compared to other countries in Latin America and the Caribbean. [3]
Under the current government, the renewables transition in the Dominican Republic is quickly picking up speed. From 2020 to the end of 2023, electricity generation capacity from renewable sources has risen from 555.5 MW to 1,126.25 MW, which is an increase of over 103%. According to the Climatescope 2023 report by Bloomberg New Energy
By embracing solar energy, the Dominican Republic takes a significant step towards reducing its carbon footprint. The Ecoener project will result in a substantial reduction in greenhouse gas emissions. For it''s mitigating the environmental impact of traditional energy sources. This transition to cleaner energy aligns with global efforts.
President Luis Abinader is set to lead the groundbreaking ceremony for the "Dominicana Azul" photovoltaic solar project this Friday. Developed by the Canadian company Azul Zenith Energy Corp, SRL, this significant clean energy initiative is expected to create over 900 direct jobs in the Dominican Republic.

This page is part of Global Energy Monitor 's Latin America Energy Portal. Fossil fuels - including oil, natural gas, and coal - supply most of the Dominican Republic's energy, supplemented by smaller amounts of renewables, including hydro, wind, solar and biofuels.
For the construction, which has had an investment of 93M USD, a total of 147,870 solar panels were used. The project helps Dominican Republic to reach its goal until 2025, the year in which they expect 25% of the electricity consumed by the country to come from renewable energies, and has generated more than 500 direct jobs in the region.
The country aims to produce 25% of its electricity from renewable energy sources by 2025. The Dominican Republic's Nationally Determined Contribution (2020 revision) calls for a 27% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 2030 relative to business as usual, up from 25% in the country's original NDC.
Electricity is then publicly distributed through either Edenorte, Edesur, or Edeeste. OC (Organismo Coordinador) is responsible for the coordination of the dispatch of electricity across the Dominican Republic via the national interconnected electrical system.
The European energy storage market is booming with Germany leading residential adoption (+58% YoY) thanks to €500/kWh subsidies. Italy's new tax credits drive 5.2GWh commercial deployments, while UK grid-scale projects exceed 8GWh with 2-hour duration systems. Key selection criteria: German-certified safety (VDE-AR-E 2510), 10+ year warranties, and VPP readiness. Top-performing products include Sonnen's hybrid inverters (98% efficiency) and BYD's Blade Battery (12,000 cycles @80% DoD). For snowy regions like Scandinavia, consider Huawei's -30°C compatible systems. France mandates carbon footprint declarations - Sungrow's ISO-14067 certified solutions gain preference.
For European homeowners, 5-10kWh systems with 3-phase compatibility are ideal. Top picks: 1) Tesla Powerwall 3 (13.5kWh, 97% round-trip efficiency) for smart home integration; 2) LG Chem RESU Prime for compact urban installations; 3) SMA Sunny Boy Storage for retrofit projects. Critical features: EU-made battery cells (exempt from CBAM tariffs), dynamic tariff optimization (like Octopus Energy integration), and fire-safe LiFePO4 chemistry. Southern Europe demands 85%+ depth of discharge capability, while Nordic markets require -25°C operation. Always verify CEI 0-21 compliance for Italian grid connection and EnWG certification for German feed-in.
