Market Opportunity

The right market. The right region. The right time.

The Dominican Republic is one of the fastest-growing power markets in Latin America — demand is outpacing supply, the government is actively contracting new generation, and a newly approved interconnection will turn the country into an energy exporter to Puerto Rico.

What the regulator is saying

"We must work to have a financially sustainable electrical system… the goal of doubling GDP by 2036 requires doubling the energy supply." The CNE confirms the country has reached its 25% renewables milestone and is advancing toward 30% by 2030 — and notes that new renewable projects increasingly include batteries, a technology that has reached "technical maturity and financial viability."

— Edward Veras, Executive Director, Comisión Nacional de Energía (CNE), Mercado Energy Summit, June 2026. NPG's solar + 4-hour BESS configuration is precisely the asset class the regulator is prioritizing.

The largest energy expansion in decades — and it's still not enough

Peak demand will hit 4,250 MW in 2026, up 59% from 2,681 MW in 2019, forcing a +50% expansion of firm installed capacity by 2028 — described by the Ministry of Energy and Mines as the largest energy expansion in decades. The State launched dedicated tenders in 2025 for renewables and battery storage, targeting 300 MW of batteries before 2027; the flagship tender (EDES-LP-NGR-01-2025) sought 600 MW of solar-plus-storage and was oversubscribed with offers exceeding 1,500 MWp. Demand for new capacity far exceeds what is being built.

Exporting power to Puerto Rico — Project Hostos

In February 2026 the U.S. Department of Energy issued a presidential permit for a ±91-mile HVDC submarine cable linking the Dominican grid to Puerto Rico — up to 700 MW of transmission capacity, backed by USD 2.5 billion in private investment, targeted for 2031. The DR is positioning itself as the Caribbean's energy hub, opening a premium export market for exactly the kind of dispatchable renewable energy NPG will produce.

A proven market

Utility-scale projects in the DR get financed, built and paid: Montecristi Solar (116 MWp, USD 250M+ German investment), Ege Haina's 200 MW Esperanza hybrid plant (2026), and the 414 MW Energía 2000 gas plant at Manzanillo, which entered commercial operation in April 2026. The spot market distributors pay (27.9 US¢/kWh) runs well above NPG's modeled BESS tariff of 17 US¢/kWh.

Pedernales–Cabo Rojo: a new demand center in NPG's own region

The government is investing USD 2.245 billion to create a new world-class tourism destination in the Southern Region — home of Bahía de las Águilas. The Cabo Rojo International Airport opens in mid-2026; the first hotel (Iberostar, 588 rooms) opens in late 2026, followed by two Hyatt resorts in 2027, scaling to ~12,000 rooms. All of this new load lands in EDESUR's southern territory — NPG's contracted off-taker.

Project Status

All foundational approvals secured

This is a construction-ready asset, not a development risk. Every critical regulatory and environmental approval required for construction is already in place.

Definitive Concession

Granted by the Comisión Nacional de Energía (CNE) and signed with the Dominican State on July 25, 2023 (Resolution CNE-CD-IRE-012-2023), for 25 years — to July 25, 2048.

Environmental License

License No. 0379-20-MODIFICADA issued by MIMARENA, August 9, 2022.

Grid Interconnection

ETED interconnection agreement approved. Interconnection point 3.0 km from site, connecting to EDESUR (Southern Region distributor).

SIE Registration

Registered with the Superintendencia de Electricidad under the Special Regime of Law 57-07.

Land Secured

4,406,824 m² independently appraised at USD 32,444,789 by IATASA (November 20, 2025).

Off-take Guaranteed by Law

Under Articles 64–66 of the Implementing Regulations of Law 57-07, EDESUR is legally obligated to interconnect, give purchase preference to, and pay for the energy generated. Independent legal opinion (Estrella & Tupete, Oct 24, 2025) confirms the Concession carries the same creditworthiness as a PPA.

The Project

Utility-scale solar on trackers, with integrated battery storage

Located at Paraje Cerro Gordo, Baní, in the Southern Region of the Dominican Republic, with average solar yield of 1,990 kWh/kWp per year (EPC feasibility study, July 2026). The full array is mounted on single-axis solar trackers, and energy is sold through bilateral contracts with EDESUR and Spot Market sales, with the BESS dispatching stored energy during high-price evening peak hours.

Phase I — 50 MWn / 59.696 MWp + 194 MWh BESS

Photovoltaic plant integrated with a 50 MW / 194 MWh battery storage system, fully covered by the existing Definitive Concession.

Phase II — 100 MW expansion

Injected directly into the National Interconnected Electrical System (SENI) under the doubling mechanism of Article 5, Paragraph I of Law 57-07, triggered once at least 50% of Phase I is installed.

Financial Highlights

Conservative tariffs, material upside

All figures from the project's Financial Model (July 2026) — 70/30 senior secured structure at market terms, with reserves and a year-10 refinancing built in. Modeled tariffs sit below current official market prices, making the eventual PPA execution upside, not risk.

Baní: the solar heart of the Dominican South

An exceptional solar resource, a proven utility-scale solar corridor, and a thriving agro-export economy — 65 km west of Santo Domingo on the highway that leads to the country's new tourism frontier in Pedernales.

One of the Caribbean's best solar resources

The site at Paraje Cerro Gordo (18°18'N, 70°20'W, 63 m altitude) sits in one of the highest solar-irradiance regions of the Caribbean, on the dry southern coastal plain shielded by the Cordillera Central. The project's engineered average yield is 1,990 kWh per kWp per year (EPC feasibility study, July 2026) — and the full 150 MW array is mounted on single-axis trackers with bifacial modules, following the sun across the day to harvest even more of that resource than fixed-tilt plants can.

A proven solar corridor — four utility-scale farms and counting

Peravia province is already the most active solar construction zone in the country: Peravia I (70 MWp, Baní — AES, with battery storage, operating since August 2025), Peravia II (70 MWp, Baní, operating since July 2025), Lucila (11.4 MWp, Nizao, July 2025) and Tornasol (70 MWp, Nizao, advancing to definitive concession). The DR added nine new solar parks in 2025 alone. International developers have already validated Baní's resource, grid and logistics — NPG holds its own 25-year concession in the same corridor, and adds what the system lacks most: storage.

An agro-export powerhouse

Baní, capital of Peravia, is the Dominican Republic's "mango capital" by law (Law 36-25) — the heart of an export industry that shipped over 34 million kilograms of mango in 2025, generating more than USD 54 million. Home to the Banilejo agro-industrial tradition, the Las Calderas naval bay, the famous Dunas de Baní and the Salinas salt flats, the city anchors a growing commercial and agro-industrial load in EDESUR territory — right where NPG will inject its energy.

Gateway to the new Dominican South

Baní sits on the Sánchez highway corridor that links Santo Domingo to the southwest — the same corridor the government is transforming with the USD 2.245 billion Cabo Rojo–Pedernales tourism development, its new international airport (opening mid-2026) and ~12,000 planned hotel rooms. As the South's economy accelerates, Baní is its commercial and energy crossroads.
