With an average operational availability of 95%, one of the highest in the electrical systema contribution of 3,862 gigawatts and an 18% market share, Dominican AES ended 2024 with outstanding results and concrete actions that strengthen the energy security and resilience of the Dominican Republic.
According to a company statement, its investment accumulated in the country amounts to US$2.4 billion, consolidating it as the largest investor of US capital in the nation and a key pillar in the energy security. These advances have been possible thanks to the continuous support of its local partners: Grupo Linda, Grupo Estrella, AFI Popular and Energas.
Looking ahead to 2025, Dominican AES prioritizes the expansion of photovoltaic solar generation projects, including the new Las Peravias I and II solar parks, and Mirasol, which will contribute an additional 240 megawatts to the electrical system national. Likewise, the installation of large centers of energy storage with renewable sources, a significant step towards improving the reliability of the electrical system and the energy transition sustainable of the country.
In 2024, one of the most notable milestones was the operational integration of the natural gas of Enadom and AES Andrés. This project offers a unique combined storage capacity in the region, with 280,000 cubic meters, guaranteeing the necessary flexibility to supply up to 1,000 additional MW of generation and meet the growing demand for electricity.
In addition, two new bays were put into operation for filling tank trucks, doubling the existing capacity and optimizing the logistics of the transportation of natural gas liquefied. These infrastructures have increased distribution to strategic sectors such as mining, free zones and agribusiness, strengthening the commitment of Dominican AES to guarantee a reliable, efficient and safe supply.
Another significant achievement was the increase in the volume of natural gas imported, which reached 88.4 TBtu, representing a growth of 7% compared to 2023. This record reaffirms the Dominican Republic as the largest importer and marketer of natural gas from Central America and the Caribbean from the United States. This growth was achieved by maintaining an impeccable risk managementcelebrating the arrival of the 400th ship at the terminal without security incidents, a reflection of the robustness of the assets and the excellence of the operational team.
