This year’s operating plan for Dominican Republic state power transmission company Eted reaches 7.35bn pesos (US$125mn), up 40% from 2024.
Around 96% of the planned expenditure will go to dispatch infrastructure and the balance to improve the availability and performance of grid assets, the company reported.
Eted also plans to install solar panels on its administrative and operational buildings.
Recently, energy and mines minister Joel Santos announced forecast investment of US$450mn for transmission in 2025-28.
In 2024, the state operator said it carried out a “historic” 1,200-plus programmed maintenance works, and that the availability of lines and substations was 98.8% and that losses stood at 1.73%.
Among the works awarded last year were the 345/138kV Azua II substation and expansion of the 345kV Punta Catalina substation which went to Elecnor Servicios y Proyectos.
The national energy commission’s (CNE) 2025-38 energy plan envisions the incorporation of 2,000km of transmission lines, and power grid coordinator OC’s preliminary 2025-28 operating report projects that annual consumption will increase 5.39% on average in 2026-28.
At time of publication, Eted had yet to release the 2025 roadmap.
