The Dominican Public Electricity Corporation (CDEEE) reports that the operational testing at the Punta Catalina thermoelectric plant is proceeding as planned and the system is entering and leaving the National Interconnected Electricity System (SENI) without any major incidents. The plant has now generated upwards of 150 megawatts for several hours during the test period, says the CDEEE.
