Germany-based Wirsol AG has started construction of a 64.14 MW solar power project in the Monte Plata province of the Dominican Republic. The first 32.14 MW phase of the project is expected to be completed by the end of the year.
‘The government provides indirect support for projects with renewable energies through a favorable tax treatment,’ says Frank Bencosme, consul of the Dominican Republic in Madrid, Spain.
Wirsol says in the future, technical management of solar facilities in the region, as well as new projects, will be implemented by Wirsol Caribbean, a local subsidiary.
