Power Plants in Dominican Republic
Dominican Republic has 37 power plants mapped on the OverWatts open energy atlas — the 68th-largest fleet of the 155 countries that hold any, and 0.1% of the world's mapped total. Of these, 19 operating and 18 under construction or proposed. Operating generation capacity totals 4.2 GW across 19 utility-scale plants of 100 MW and above. The largest is Punta Catalina power station (752 MW).
The largest owner-operators are Empresa Generadora de Electricidad Haina SA (6), Coastal Petroleum Dominicana SA (3) and Transcontinental Capital Corporation (Bermuda) Ltd (3) — Empresa Generadora de Electricidad Haina SA alone is named on 16% of them. Half of Dominican Republic's power plants in service predate 2019 (median commissioning year of the 19 with a known date), 11 came online in the past decade and the oldest still listed is Falcondo mine power station, dating from 1972. 18 are in the pipeline, led by San Felipe power station (470 MW), under construction. They account for 76% of every energy asset OverWatts maps in Dominican Republic.
