Background

Barahona power station is the only coal-fired power plant among the eight power plants operated by EGE Haina, one of the Dominican Republic's leading electricity producers.[1] [2] Located on the coast about 200 km west of Santo Domingo, the US$38.1 million, 45.6 MW power plant began operating in 2001.[1] Coal for the plant is delivered via conveyor belt from boats anchored in the adjacent port.[1]

In 2018, the power station underwent modernization to increase the potential from 45.6 MW to 52 MW using the same amount of coal.[3][1]

According to EGE Haina's 2022 Annual Report, the Barahona power station underwent "major maintenance" in 2022 and appeared to maintain its prior capacity of 52 MW after the maintenance was completed.[4] The power station reportedly employed a monthly average of 91 total full-time and contracted workers during 2022.[4]
