<p>Santo Domingo.- The Dominican Association of Isolated Electrical Systems (ADOSEA) and the Dominican Association of the Electrical Industry (ADIE) have proposed updates to solar panel regulations in the Dominican Republic. They argue for a system where all users, with or without solar panels, contribute equitably to maintaining and developing the national electrical grid, ensuring a more
Santo Domingo.- The Senate of the Dominican Republic approved a framework agreement for the creation of the International Solar Alliance (ISA) in a single reading. The agreement aims to enhance demand coordination, financing, technology, innovation, research, and training in the solar energy sector.

Santo Domingo.- The Senate of the Dominican Republic approved a framework agreement for the creation of the International Solar Alliance (ISA) in a single reading. The agreement aims to enhance demand coordination, financing, technology, innovation, research, and training in the solar energy sector. According to the document submitted by the Executive Branch, this initiative will address common challenges for expanding solar energy networks.
Additionally, the Senate approved another framework agreement on cooperation between the Dominican Republic and Portugal, also presented by the Executive Branch. The session further ratified two diplomatic appointments: Robert Miky Takata Pimentel as ambassador to Tuvalu, based in Japan, and Alejandro Arias Zarzuela as ambassador to Uzbekistan, based in the Russian Federation.
Santo Domingo – The Minister of Energy and Mines, Antonio Almonte, reported yesterday that the Superintendence of Electricity (SIE) is finalizing the details to approve the new “Regulations for the approval, interconnection, and operation of distributed energy generation facilities” for the solar panel market.
“We are going to publish, before the end of this semester, the resolutions duly agreed upon, evaluated, with international advice, with national consultations, and then there will be a resolution from the Superintendency of Electricity,” he said.
The information arises from the public debate generated by a recent technical study that indicates that solar panel installations (distributed generation) generate operating costs assumed by electricity distribution companies (EDE).
The reason for modifying the regulatory framework is that the demand for solar panels has caused a massification of the market, which makes it necessary to readjust the 2012 regulations and adapt them to current needs to obtain greater regulation.
In highlighting the growth that the solar panel business has experienced, the official emphasized the need to find a viable solution to balance the losses that distributors are having, using distribution lines by users since they are still connected to the system.
Commercial competitiveness increasedThe minister had the opportunity to speak on the subject on several television and radio programs, where he said that the boom in panels had promoted a “healthy competitiveness among the companies that sell them,” which translates into more significant opportunities for businesses and users to acquire the technology at more economical prices.
“In the solar panel business, a growing market has opened up, where there is competition and where companies that are establishing themselves want to grow in commercialization, not to give them away, but to market them – sell them – and make profits, they throw balls. They make very eloquent questions and statements that anyone believes to be true, that it is a government position.”
However, he assured that no government entity has referred to the issue. On the contrary, it is expected that the regulation will be agreed upon to begin to promote the debate among the actors of the changes that it will imply in the renewable energy sector, said the official, referring to the recent debates on the use of renewable energy.
He said that when we talk about the massification of the sector, we are also talking about large-scale projects that impact the operation of the networks in economic terms “and that has to be regulated and established, not in a speculative manner.”
He recalled that the government seeks to boost and promote renewables, both on the scale of mega projects and on the scale known as distributed generation, which are not the installations of solar panels placed in homes, small businesses, medium industries, and other areas.
Several solar projects are expected to be completed and inject 1,400 megawatts into the generation matrix between the end of 2024 and 2025 when they enter the system.
Santo Domingo.- Minister of Energy and Mines, Antonio Almonte, has announced that the Superintendency of Electricity (SIE) will release updated regulations for the approval, interconnection, and operation of distributed energy generation facilities in the solar panel market before the end of this semester. Almonte emphasized the necessity for adapting the existing 2012 regulations to the current demands of the growing solar panel market, following consensus among various stakeholders.
Highlighting the surge in demand for solar panels, Almonte stressed the importance of readjusting regulations to ensure effective control and balance in the sector. The upcoming resolutions, developed through international consultations and advice, will address concerns related to over-remuneration and subsidy for customers with solar panels, which has impacted distributors facing losses due to users still connected to the traditional energy system.
Speaking on the El Zol de la Tarde program, Almonte underscored the need for clear and well-established regulations, dismissing speculative statements from companies in the competitive solar panel market. He clarified that the Dominican Government, led by President Luis Abinader, is actively promoting renewable energies at both mega and distributed generation scales, encompassing residential, small business, and industrial installations.
Almonte pointed out that the new regulation will introduce a net billing regime to replace the current net metering system. Under this framework, injected energy will be remunerated at a rate lower than withdrawal prices, and limits will be imposed on injected energy to prioritize the primary objective of distributed generation—self-consumption. This measure aims to discourage the emergence of net suppliers, microgenerators injecting energy into the grid under favorable conditions without intending self-consumption.
