ST Engineering and Siemens Energy to Deliver State-of-the-Art Power Plant to Dominican Republic

Singapore-based ST Engineering, in collaboration with Siemens Energy, has been awarded a second contract to deliver the Estrella del Mar IV power plant to the Dominican Republic. The new power plant, based on the Estrella del Mar III predecessor, will enhance the country's energy infrastructure with greater efficiency, flexibility, and sustainability. The project is expected to be completed in 2028 and will be installed off the shores of Santo Domingo, alongside the existing Estrella del Mar III power plant.

Key Takeaways:

• The Estrella del Mar IV power plant will be a 145-megawatt (MW) combined cycle power plant supplied by Siemens Energy, featuring two SGT-800 gas turbines, one SST-600 steam turbine, and an innovative storage system.
• The project will be constructed in Singapore and delivered as a complete plug-and-play solution, reducing cost and construction time compared to a land-based power facility.
• The Estrella del Mar III power plant, commissioned in 2022, has been recognized as the Plant of the Year by Power Magazine for its innovative integration of marine engineering and energy generation.
• The project showcases ST Engineering's and Siemens Energy's capabilities in delivering pioneering floating power plants that overcome land and infrastructure constraints while providing reliable and resilient energy.
• The innovative storage system and hybrid approach of the Estrella del Mar IV will maximize performance, improve fuel efficiency, and reduce emissions.
• Tan Leong Peng, President of Marine, ST Engineering, highlighted the project's significance, stating that it demonstrates confidence in ST Engineering's proven engineering, construction, and project management capabilities.
• Andreas Pistauer, Global Head of Sales for Gas Services at Siemens Energy, emphasized the potential of floating power plants to deliver reliable and resilient energy, overcoming land and infrastructure constraints.
