AES Dominicana, a unit of AES Corporation (NYSE:AES), announced on Tuesday that it had put into operation 20 MW of new energy storage battery systems in the Dominican Republic. Located on sites in the Santo Domingo region, each of the two systems supplied by AES Energy Storage has a capacity of 10 MW.
Construction has started on the first major solar-plus-storage project in the Dominican Republic, which features a 24.8MW/99MWh battery energy storage system (BESS). The Comisión Nacional De Energia (CNE) of the Dominican Republic announced the start of work on the Dominicana Azul solar project shortly in late December (22 December).
The electro-chemical battery energy storage project uses lithium-ion as its storage technology. The project was commissioned in 2017. The AES Dominicana Andres – Battery Energy Storage System was developed by Fundacion AES Dominicana. The project is owned by The AES (100%).
The Dominican national energy commission CNE said that the solar farm will have a BESS of 24.8 MW of power and 99.2 MWh of storage capacity. The Dominicana Azul plant will be capable of producing around 176.4 GWh of electricity annually for the national grid. Zenith Energy will build the facilities in the Cabrera municipality.
