Tourism Minister Felix Jimenez says that the building of the wind park in Punta Cana-Macao is moving slowly. Jimenez says that the project is currently suspended because it doesn’t fulfill all the requirements set forth by that ministry. Jimenez, speaking in Diario Libre, said that the Consorcio Energetico Punta Cana-Macao has the right to build on its property, but not within the 60 meters marine strip on property that does not belong to that company and affects the users of the beach. He said that Decree 595-06 that authorized the wind park specifies the construction would take place on property owned by the Consorcio. The wind towers would have a height equivalent to a tower of 34 floors. Jimenez says that his department opposes the project because it will alter the visual aspect of the area, as well as the height limit in tourist zones, and will increase the noise levels.
