The Public Electricity Corporation (CDEEE) says that the Dominican Power Partners (DPP) combined cycle plant will go into operation in May 2017 with added production of 114 MW.
CDEEE executive vice president Ruben Jimenez Bichara visited the power plant in Los Mina in eastern Santo Domingo to see the progress of the conversion project that involves adding two heat recovery steam generators and a 114 MW steam turbine generator to the existing two Los Mina V and Los Mina VI 105 MW simple-cycle natural gas-fired turbines.
The system will increase the plant’s capacity from 210 MW to 324 MW, without using additional gas.
Edwin de los Santos, speaking for DPP, an AES Dominicana company, said that the plant is finished and tests are underway for the connection to the national electric grid.
