Dominican Republic inks coal deal for 752MW plant
Dominican Republic state power holding company CDEEE and Xcoal Energy & Resources have signed a contract whereby the latter will supply 462,000t of coal to begin testing the first of two units at the 752MW Punta Catalina plant.
The contract, which the US group won early this month, is for the shipment of coal between November and March. Bidding to supply coal for the second unit is expected in the coming weeks, which will be followed by a call for permanent supply.
In recent days, CDEEE carried out the first firing of unit 1's steam boiler using fuel oil.
For its part, power regulator SIE granted CDEEE an additional provisional interconnection permit to conduct dispatch testing for the plant.
The watchdog also issued a provisional interconnection permit to EGE Haina to carry out testing for the 48MW Larimar II wind farm.
