The Dominican Republic’s government has authorized the commissioning of Akuo Energy-controlled Parques Eólicos del Caribe’s 50MW Guanillo wind farm (pictured) in Montecristi province after it was inaugurated in June.

Power regulator SIE approved the plant’s operation in the national interconnected power grid after verifying the connection compliance certificate issued by grid coordinator OC, among other requirements.

Meanwhile, the watchdog extended test operations for Grupo Eólico Dominicano’s 34MW Matafongo wind farm in Peravia province until October 9.
