Inkia expands DomRep portfolio with new solar concession

The Dominican Republic’s national energy commission CNE has granted IE DR Projects I a provisional concession for the 70MWn Peravia Solar II project.

The Inkia Energy-controlled developer filed the concession request in March for the proposed park in Baní, Peravia province.

IE DR Projects I already holds a provisional concession for Peravia Solar I (70MWn) while Inkia operates the 50MW Agua Clara wind farm in the country.

CNE also granted a provisional concession to fuel terminal operator Coastal Petroleum Dominicana for the 100MWn Coastal Solar project in San Pedro de Macorís province. This concession request was submitted in June.

BNamericas previously reported that another hydrocarbons company looking to expand its business scope is Tropigas Dominicana with the 43MWn (50.32MWp) Martí photovoltaic project.

IE DR Projects I and Coastal Petroleum Dominicana now have 18 months to conduct additional studies to secure the definitive concessions. 

In other CNE solar developments, the commission recommended to the executive branch that a definitive concession be granted to Enren for the 50.6MWn (58.2MWp) phase one of the Calabaza project, and authorized Soventix Caribbean to conduct studies for Zonaxol’s 44MWn (60MWp) Zonaxol project.
