Ecoener Hits 623 MW After Connecting Two Dominican Solar Plants as Argentina Expands Local Solar Push

Long‑term PPAs with early battery adoption signal a shift toward firmer renewable supply.

Overview

  • Ecoener connected Cumayasa 4 (61.7 MWp) and Payita 1 (60 MWp) in the Dominican Republic under 15‑year PPAs, lifting its global operating fleet to 623 MW, up 83% year over year.
  • The company reports €230 million invested in the Dominican Republic, with 218 MW now operating in the country and a further 214 MW in development.
  • Payita 2, a 62 MW project under construction with battery storage, is described by Ecoener as the first battery‑backed plant set to connect to the Dominican public grid and would raise its national portfolio to about 280 MW.
  • Ecoener cites annual output of roughly 252 GWh from the new plants, the potential to supply over 235,000 homes across assets in operation and construction, avoidance of about 359,000 tonnes of CO2, and agrivoltaic grazing at Cumayasa.
  • Argentina advances distributed and community solar through provincial initiatives and cooperatives—such as Mendoza’s new 3 MW Coperote I park and Córdoba projects with Ecovatio using Huawei technology—although national distributed generation growth lags regional peers due to financing and net‑metering gaps.
