Background

As of February 2021, the Dominican government was preparing a tender for rights to develop an LNG import terminal associated with a new 800 MW power station in the Manzanillo region. By July 2021 the government had received twelve bids for the project, with technical and economic offers expected in October 2021.

In May 2022, the Dominican government announced that it had selected a pair of winning bids, resulting in the power plant being split into two separate projects. The first project, to be developed by a consortium led by Haina Investment Corp, was to include the LNG regasification terminal, together with a 167,000 m³ storage tank and a 420 MW combined cycle power station. The second project, to be developed by a consortium led by Manzanillo Energy, was to include a 392 MW combined cycle power station, to be supplied by the same LNG terminal. According to the terms of the tender, both projects were to be completed within a 42-month time frame.
