The DR can help PR have more electricity

[NALs]

There is not much else to add to this. A company is trying to connect Puerto Rico and the DR with a large electricity cable for the DR to sell electricity to Puerto Rico. You know, since the DR has all this extra electricity it doesn’t know what to do with it.

As Luma (PR's electricity company) is a LLC this would make sense for private DR to provide of energy to them.
I see CEPM or CESPM (the generators from the East part of the country) getting involved in this business.

The power company here could not even run underground cables successfully and now someone is going to run an undersea cable with 50 KVolts or more..

Sounds like a great plan.

Exactly. The EDEs are a laughingstock. They can´t export 2 Watts more than 2.4 meters.

Read between the lines: this is a PR private company (no intentions from the DR Gov or any private DR company) with the plans to building a electrical submarine cable. This is just a press release from them to potentially attract investors or public interest.

The company itself: https://caribbeantransmission.com/about/

Again, I don't visualize the whole DR grid (for now) to be involved on this.

What a stupid idea. Where are these engineers educated - in a McDonald's play pen?

Laughing stock for sure, it will not work. PR can do it themselves.

Exactly. They can build their own coal fired power plants!

Absolutely. Over 30 years ago when I lived in PR, it was more advanced than the DR is today. The power always worked, people always had water, and roads were paved and not full of potholes.

PR has deteriorated greatly almost totally due to corruption.

PR has deteriorated greatly almos totally due to corruption.

Hurricane Maria destroyed PR in 2017 and hasn't been the same since.

Hurricane Maria destroyed PR in 2017 and hasn't been the same since.

Sadly. Went there 2 months after Maria to provide assistance to relatives there. It felt like it was DR in 1998: people making lines for gas, everyone with generators because no electricity. Long queues at Costco. Plaza de las Americas was used to enjoy the A/C because neighbors didn't had electricity. Total chaos. It literally collapsed the country.

Hope it happens. It will be a important achievement for the region.

Can you imagine having an electrical Caribbean grid?

For example, this is the current submarine internet cable grid as of 2024.

New projects here to get power from thermal energy? Like burning coal or oil ? LOL

 

[Father Guido]

I guess as I am writing this the DR is selling my electricity to PR as I don't have any

30 additional power projects in 4 years? 😂🤣😂
