The project will enable 700 MW to be supplied to Puerto Rico on completion in 2031. In the second phase of the project, the project will be able to transmit energy in both directions.
The project includes 146 km of submarine HVDC cable, AC/DC converters at coastal entry and exit points on both islands, a new 700 MW combined cycle power plant in the Dominican Republic, and a transmission line from the plant to the coast. Commercial operation is scheduled for 1 January, 2031, making it the first two-way energy link in the Caribbean.
Siemens Energy will focus on the power generation and conversion solutions.
