In the Dominican Republic, a 63 MW photovoltaic plant is being developed for the production of clean energy. This innovative plant will have solar panels equipped with single-axis trackers, which adjust their position during the day to follow the movement of the sun, optimizing sunlight collection and maximizing production.

Clean energy in the Dominican Republic

The plant will produce 189.07 GWh per year. The construction of the project, in collaboration with Grupo País, is backed by a 15-year power purchase agreement (PPA) with one of the three main distributors in the state.

In addition, this plant is expected to be operational by the end of 2025. Once operational, the Pedro Corto solar plant will prevent the emission of more than 130,000 tons of CO₂ each year. This positive environmental impact is significant and reflects Acciona Energía’s commitment to sustainability. All of Acciona Energía’s projects, including this plant, are integrated into its Social Impact Management program, which allocates part of the annual revenues to initiatives that benefit local communities through social, environmental and educational projects.

Acciona Energy in the Caribbean

On the other hand, Acciona Energía has shared that this is not its first project in the region. In 2023, the company inaugurated the Calabaza I photovoltaic plant, with a capacity of 58 MW. In addition, it is currently constructing another ambitious 162 MW photovoltaic project, consisting of three solar plants . This new project is one of the largest in Central America and the Caribbean, highlighting Acciona’s growth and commitment to clean energy generation in the region.
