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.
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 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.
AI APPLIED TO SOLAR PROJECT MANAGEMENT: COMPETITIVENESS AND DATA MANAGEMENT
Solar asset management is entering a new phase driven by digitalisation, advanced data analytics
and artificial intelligence. This panel will examine how these tools are enabling the optimisation of
plant performance, the anticipation of faults, the reduction of operating costs and the improvement of decision-making, transforming
traditional operations into a more efficient, data-driven management approach.

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.
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.
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.
