ETED's Perspective on the Next Phases of the Energy Transition
THE ENERGY FUTURE OF THE DOMINICAN REPUBLIC: PUBLIC-PRIVATE COORDINATION IN A CONTEXT OF NEW CHALLENGES
The Dominican electricity system is undergoing a period of growth and transformation characterised by rising
demand, the introduction of new technologies and the need to strengthen energy planning. Against an
international backdrop marked by shifts in energy markets, new geopolitical dynamics and
increasing competition to attract investment, this panel will bring together authorities, regulators and business leaders to
analyse how coordination between the public and private sectors can drive the sector’s development, ensure
security of supply and consolidate a modern, resilient and sustainable electricity system for the country.
THE NEW REGULATORY FRAMEWORK FOR THE INTEGRATION OF A POWER SYSTEM IN TRANSITION
FROM SUPPLY TO PERFORMANCE: TECHNOLOGY, MANUFACTURING AND RELIABILITY IN THE NEW GENERATION OF SOLAR TECHNOLOGY
Technology plays a key role in the reliability and performance of energy systems. This panel
will explore how equipment manufacturers are evolving from technology suppliers to strategic partners in the
operation and maintenance of energy infrastructure, helping to improve efficiency, availability and the
service life of assets.
FROM GREENFIELD TO COD: NEW SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS AND KEY FACTORS FOR MAKING SOLAR PROJECTS FEASIBLE IN THE DOMINICAN REPUBLIC
The development of solar projects in the Dominican Republic requires increasingly rigorous planning from the
initial stages through to commercial operation. This panel will examine the new technical and regulatory requirements
of the electricity system, as well as the strategies needed to ensure the viability of projects, optimise
development times and guarantee the efficient integration of new plants into the grid.
SOLAR AND BESS TECHNOLOGY IN EXTREME CLIMATES: PERFORMANCE, DEGRADATION AND OPERATION IN THE CARIBBEAN
The climatic conditions in the Caribbean—high temperatures, humidity, salinity and severe weather events—
pose specific challenges to the performance and durability of solar systems. This panel will discuss best
practices in the design, technology selection and operation of photovoltaic plants to maximise efficiency, reduce
degradation and ensure the reliability of assets in demanding environments.
DECARBONISATION TRENDS IN THE GLOBAL ENERGY TRANSITION AGENDA
The energy transition is becoming a key factor in industrial competitiveness, particularly
in a global environment that increasingly values sustainability and energy efficiency. This panel will explore how
companies can move towards more efficient production models by using clean energy,
optimising consumption and reducing emissions, thereby contributing to the country’s economic and environmental development.

SPECIFIC ASPECTS OF SOLAR PROJECT CONSTRUCTION IN THE CARIBBEAN: TECHNOLOGY AND DESIGN TO MAXIMISE OUTPUT
The construction of solar projects in the Caribbean presents specific challenges linked to climatic conditions,
logistics, available infrastructure and the need to adapt designs to environments with demanding operational requirements. This
panel will analyse how engineering, design and the incorporation of advanced technologies are enabling the optimisation
of construction, improving the resilience of facilities and maximising the performance and reliability of solar projects
in the region.
SELF-CONSUMPTION 4.0: REGULATION, TECHNOLOGY AND NEW BUSINESS MODELS FOR A GROWING MARKET
Solar self-consumption continues to grow in the Dominican Republic in both the residential sector and the
commercial and industrial sectors. This panel will examine how developments in the regulatory framework, technological innovation and
new business models are driving market development, facilitating access to
more efficient energy solutions and strengthening user participation in the country’s energy transition.
ELECTRIC MOBILITY AND ENERGY INFRASTRUCTURE: NEW CHALLENGES AND OPPORTUNITIES FOR THE DOMINICAN ELECTRICITY SYSTEM
The growth of electric mobility is presenting new challenges and opportunities for the Dominican energy system
. The expansion of charging infrastructure, demand management and integration with renewable energy
highlight the need for coordinated planning between the electricity sector, regulators and mobility stakeholders
. This panel will analyse how to prepare the grid and energy infrastructure to support the development of
electric vehicles, exploring charging models, new investments and the role of electromobility within the country’s
energy transition.

KEYNOTE PRESENTATION 1
• Edward Veras, Director Ejecutivo, CNE
ENERGY PLANNING AND MODELLING: SYSTEM OPERATION, FORECASTING AND COMPETITIVENESS
Ensuring a reliable and sustainable electricity supply requires comprehensive energy planning that balances
diversification of the energy mix, growing demand and the integration of new technologies. This panel will bring together
key stakeholders from the sector to discuss how to strengthen the resilience of the Dominican electricity system, optimise
planning for new infrastructure and ensure long-term energy stability.
THE ROLL-OUT OF STORAGE IN THE DOMINICAN REPUBLIC: FROM THE REGULATORY FRAMEWORK TO THE IMPLEMENTATION OF NEW PROJECTS
Energy storage is emerging as a strategic tool for improving the flexibility and stability
of the Dominican electricity system. This panel will address regulatory developments, investment opportunities and the
technical challenges associated with the roll-out of storage projects, as well as their role in the integration of
renewable energy and in the reliability of the electricity supply.
THE NEW GENERATION OF ENERGY STORAGE: TECHNOLOGY, INNOVATION AND REAL-WORLD APPLICATIONS
Storage technologies are evolving rapidly, offering solutions that are increasingly efficient
and tailored to the needs of the electricity system. This panel will bring together manufacturers and integrators to present
technological innovations, implementation experiences and use cases that are helping to improve
operational flexibility and the quality of the energy supply.
Project Hostos: The New Energy Frontier Between the Dominican Republic and Puerto Rico
SMART GRIDS AND SYSTEM EXPANSION: THE CHALLENGES FACING TRANSMISSION AND DISTRIBUTION IN INTEGRATING NEW RENEWABLE ENERGY PROJECTS
The expansion of renewable energy in the Dominican Republic requires the ongoing modernisation of transmission and distribution networks
. This panel will discuss the strategies needed to strengthen the electricity infrastructure,
optimise network planning and facilitate the safe and efficient integration of new projects, thereby contributing to the
sustainable development of the national energy system.
STORAGE AS A FINANCIAL ASSET IN THE DOMINICAN REPUBLIC: CONTRACTS, REGULATION AND INVESTOR CONFIDENCE
Energy storage is emerging as a new investment opportunity within the Dominican electricity system
. This panel will examine the regulatory, contractual and financial conditions required to promote
storage projects, boost investor confidence and facilitate the development of
innovative energy solutions that contribute to the stability and modernisation of the electricity system.
