Energía 2000 has successfully executed a critical docking operation for the LNG carrier Energoslo, delivering the inaugural liquefied natural gas shipment for the Manzanillo Power Land generation initiative. This achievement follows comprehensive operational and safety assessments mandated by the LNG provider.
The fuel transfer employed an advanced ship-to-ship methodology, with the LNG being delivered to the Energos Freeze floating storage and regasification unit (FSRU). This vessel has been stationed at Energía 2000’s offshore terminal in Manzanillo Bay since September 2025. The substantial shipment, approximately 50,000 cubic meters of LNG, will facilitate extensive operational testing prior to the plant’s formal commissioning.
This development signifies a transformative advancement for the Dominican Republic’s energy infrastructure, establishing the nation’s first permanent FSRU operation in Manzanillo. Beyond enhancing national energy security, the MPL initiative is projected to stimulate substantial economic growth in the northern border territories, creating employment opportunities and driving development in Pepillo Salcedo and Montecristi province.
At full operational capacity, Manzanillo Power Land will contribute 440 megawatts to the national grid—approximately 12% of the country’s total generation capacity—utilizing natural gas as a more efficient and environmentally favorable fuel source. Energía 2000 has emphasized its dedication to constructing contemporary and dependable energy infrastructure that aligns with strategic national objectives, developed in collaboration with governmental authorities.
