In the Dominican Republic, a 63 MW photovoltaic plant<\/strong> is being developed for the production of clean energy<\/strong>. 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.<\/p>\n\n

Clean energy in the Dominican Republic<\/h2>\n\n

The plant will produce 189.07 GWh per year<\/strong>. The construction of the project, in collaboration with Grupo Pa\u00eds, is backed by a 15-year power purchase agreement (PPA) with one of the three main distributors in the state.<\/p>\n\n

In addition, this plant is expected to be operational by the end of 2025<\/strong>. Once operational, the Pedro Corto solar plant will prevent the emission of more than 130,000 tons of CO\u2082 each year. This positive environmental impact is significant and reflects Acciona Energ\u00eda’s commitment to sustainability. All of Acciona Energ\u00eda’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.<\/p>\n\n

Acciona Energy in the Caribbean<\/h2>\n\n

On the other hand, \n Acciona Energ\u00eda<\/a>\n<\/strong> 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 \n solar plants<\/a>\n<\/strong>. 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.<\/p>\n\n

In addition, the Pedro Corto plant will contribute to the reduction of CO\u2082 emissions, and will create local employment during its construction and operation phase. This will boost the region’s economy and foster the development of renewable energy skills among local workers.<\/p>\n\n
