The energy production in flints not enough for mega project developing tourist of red cape, in that province, promoted by the government of Luis Abinader. That is why the projected plan proposes the construction of a solar farm among the sources to diversify the region’s energy matrix.
According to the estimates set forth in the plan, the demand for energy would increase to 72% in the next 20 years, as the hotel projects are developed.
By 2015, establishments in flints with a greater number of employees estimated that, in percentage terms, spending on salaries ranked second, only behind the cost of electricity, which in some cases represented up to 60% of total expenses.
In flints The Los Cocos Wind Farm is installed, managed by the company EGE Haina, with a nominal capacity of 5.1 MVA (megavoltampere).
In the province, which is one of the three poorest in the country, there are also homes that lack electricity or suffer continuous power cuts.
“The power outages, which have decreased in recent years, strongly affect the link, hospitality, as it prevents quality service in hotels”, indicates the plan of developing captured by the government in a 377-page book containing the technical reports of a team of consultants.
The level of radiation in the southwestern region supposes favorable conditions for the developing of one solar farm that allows the self-consumption of the tourist complex, which is one of the main objectives in terms of energy. This would complement the existing wind energy production.
In general, the government projects the construction of 12,000 rooms in an intervention of 3,800 hectares. To this end, it promoted the project at the recent International Fair of sightseeing held in Madrid.
in the plan developing a medium-term demand for electrical energy of 11,653 kVA (kilovolt-amperes) per day is calculated, considering consumption by 1,600 hotel rooms and a population of 18,316 inhabitants.
The consultants also propose the installation of a water desalination plant in the plan. Also, continue with technical studies. Likewise, they suggest agreeing with the Ministry of Tourism and the Pedernales Municipal Mayor’s Office on said Tourism Development Plan, “since the use of the spaces differs from what is contemplated in the territorial ordering plans” of said ministry. And carry out an analysis of tourist load capacity to support the identity of development.
