Santo Domingo.– Wartsila, a leading global supplier of decentralized power plant solutions, has been awarded a contract to supply equipment on a turnkey basis for a barge-mounted power plant power project for the Dominican Republic.
The plant will run on natural gas, and will have an output of 106 MW to be supplied to the national grid. It is scheduled to be operational before the end of 2011. Seaboard Corporation, a US based Fortune 1000 company, has ordered Wartsila power generation equipment for a new barge-mounted power plant for Santo Domingo.
The barge will expand Seaboard's existing power generation operations in the country. The scope of supply for the order includes six Wartsila 18V50DF dual-fuel engines in combined cycle mode, including heat recovery boilers for each engine, and a complete steam turbine generator system.

Headline DT, Aug. 25th "Santo Domingo.– AES Dominicana and Transcontinental Capital Corporation (Seaboard) signed an agreement for the supply of natural gas, allowing the latter install a new electricity generation plant of 108 megawatts,"
A step backwards ! What is it, 106 megawatts or 108 megawatts? Hope this is not a trend that each time there is a report surrounding this plant the megawatt rating goes downward. Each megawatt deficit this new plant has compared to the 116 megawatt rating for the present Seaboard plant on the Ozama means that some other plant has to make up the energy difference on the national grid.
What is the government doing to provide more capacity to end the blackouts?
