The Quisqueya II power plant will feature 12 Wartsila 50DF generating sets in combined-cycle running primarily on natural gas, but with the capability to switch to heavy fuel oil as needed.
The plant is scheduled to be fully operational during the second half of 2013, and will supply base load electricity to the national grid.
This project will be an identical twin power plant to the Quisqueya I plant located at the same site, which was ordered by Barrick Gold in September 2011.
The two power plants, constructed on the same site as a single unit and operated from one control room, will have a total capacity of 430MW.
EGE Haina, a 50% state-owned and 50% privately-owned company, owns several power plants in the Dominican Republic including a 150MW barge-mounted power plant supplied by Wartsila.
