Santo Domingo Energy Storage Power Station Solution

A water-based power plant could be one very valuable asset. Estrella del Mar III offers a host of benefits to the people of lively Santo Domingo, with a more reliable energy supply, reduced LCoE (levelized cost of electricity), and less noise—residential housing is close to the power plant.

The steady flow of electricity can support both tourism and Santo Domingo's innovative start-up scene. Nobel literature laureate Mario Vargas Llosa described the Dominican “appetite for noise” in his book The Feast of the Goat. A city that's already pulsating doesn't need any extra noise from a power plant.

The electro-chemical battery energy storage project uses lithium-ion as its storage technology. The project was commissioned in 2017. The AES Dominicana Andres – Battery Energy Storage System was developed by Fundacion AES Dominicana. The project is owned by The AES (100%).

We're excited that in the end, the SCC-800 2x1 floating power plant will bring clean and green electrical energy solution to benefit more people in the Dominican Republic," said Ng Sing Chan, President, Marine, ST Engineering. Seaboard Estrella del Mar III will be installed at the customer's location in the country's capital city Santo Domingo.
