The Dominican Republic’s energy sector is heavily reliant on imported fossil fuels, with over 80% of electricity generated from oil, natural gas, and coal. While facing challenges with energy security and high costs, the country is actively transitioning toward renewables, aiming for 30% renewable energy penetration in the grid by 2030, with solar, wind, and hydro contributing to the mix.

The Dominican Republic is positioning itself as a regional leader in green hydrogen to decarbonize its energy sector, leveraging abundant wind and solar resources. Key initiatives include a proposed 350 MW project by EN.IT in La Romana, a $200M wastewater-to-hydrogen facility, and early industrial adoption, such as CEMEX’s hydrogen technology implementation.

The Dominican Republic envisions green hydrogen as a key driver in its transition to a sustainable and resilient energy future.
