Transport: this sector consumes the most energy in the Dominican Republic yet national energy plans do not consider renewables deployment for the sector. Liquid biofuels could replace gasoline and diesel but no market exists. Demand needs to be created by setting targets.
The issues of grid capacity and storage, in particular, are curbing expansion at normative and technological level. The Dominican Government continues to expand renewable energy, electromobility and energy storage technologies and is reducing emissions of greenhouse gases.
The country relies heavily on fossil fuel imports, which account for nearly all of its primary energy supply at present. The Dominican Republic has set ambitious targets to reduce its per capita greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.
This roadmap was developed in close co-operation with the National Energy Commission (Comisión Nacional de Energía or CNE). It quantifies what can realistically be achieved by 2030 in the Dominican Republic’s total energy system in terms of renewable energy technology potential, cost and savings.
Data provided by CNE and IRENA estimates show that the Dominican Republic could generate 16 TWh of electricity from renewables by 2030. This would be produced from a renewable power generation capacity of 6 GW (from a total installed capacity of 10 GW, including non-renewable technologies).
Despite the present administration’s efforts to increase the installed capacity of electricity generation from renewable sources, the electric power sector continues to be one of the most significant problems affecting the Dominican economy.
