Background

The Manzanillo Gas & Power plant, together with the Manzanillo Energy power station and the Manzanillo Power Land power station, is one of three large gas-fired power plants under development near Manzanillo, in the northwestern corner of the Dominican Republic.[10] Dominican president Luis Abinader attended a groundbreaking ceremony for the plant in December 2022.[10][11] The project is scheduled for completion in 2026.[10]

As of February 2021, the Dominican government was preparing a tender for rights to develop an 800 MW power station in the Manzanillo region, to be developed in conjunction with a LNG import terminal.[12][13][14] By July 2021 the government had received twelve bids for the project[15][16], with technical and economic offers expected in October 2021.[16]

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.[17] The first project, to be developed by a consortium led by Haina Investment Corp, was to include a 420 MW combined cycle power station and the associated Manzanillo (Dominican Republic) LNG terminal.[18] The second project, to be developed by a consortium led by Manzanillo Energy, was to include a 392 MW combined cycle power station.[18] According to the terms of the tender, both projects were to be completed within a 42-month time frame.[18]
