The Public Electricity Corporation (CDEEE) has signed an energy purchasing agreement with the AES Dominicana group’s Dominican Power Partners. The six-year contract will enable the implementation of the Los Minas V and VI combined cycle power project. According to the CDEE, the installation of the combined cycle option means that the power plant will increase its power generation from the current 210 megawatts to 324 megawatts. This will represent savings of around US$120 million over the six-year period.
