Dependence on imported fuels and high carbon intensity risk affordability shocks, while renewables growth—especially solar, onshore wind, and offshore wind—can lower generation dependence. Meeting 2030 NDCs and cutting GHG emissions at least 30% below reference by 2050 requires additional generation and network investment, alongside grid expansion, storage, flexibility incentives, coordinated EV charging, and financial sustainability of utilities.","Pub lic Disclosure Authorized Pub lic Disc losure Authorized Pub lic Disclosure Authorized  \nDO MINICAN REPUBLIC  \nThe DR needs to prioritize energy sector decarbonization to meet its 2030 NDCs and increase energy security  \nReliance on fossil fuels in the power sector and import dependency pose potential energy security and affordability risks  \n• High carbon intensity in power generation threatens to lock in high reliance on imported fossil fuels and associated fuel price volatility.  \n• Fossil fuels accounted for 84% of total generation in 2022, VRE 8%, hydro 7% and biomass 1%  \n• Hydropower potential not fully used due to competing water uses.  \n• Large potential for solar (> 50 GW), medium potential for onshore wind (~ 10 GW) and large potential for offshore wind (~60 GW) could reduce  \nreliance on fossil fuels  \nCountry Climate and Development Report 2  \nKey messages for power sector decarbonization (1)  \n• Reaching the NDC commitments in 2030 and keeping GHG emissions at least 30% below the reference emissions up to 2050 requires additional investments of $2.6 billion in generation and $700 million in networks (discounted) .  \n• Deep decarbonization coupled with large scale transport electrification could almost triple the investment needs to $25.5 billion up to 2050.  \n• Reaching NDC2030 targets will only modestly increase the average generation costs.  \n• Deep decarbonization by 2050 with large-scale transport electrification could increase generation costs by more than  \n20% .  \n• RE (in particular solar PV) is the cheapest option for new generation.  \nCO2 emissions today  \n500 gCO2/kWh  \nFossil based power system today  \nElectricity demand growth  \n4-6% p.a.  \nStrong economic growth and electrification  \nDeep Power Sector Decarbonization  \nRenewables share 2050:  \n67%  \nUp from 16% today Total investment costs:  \n25.5 billion USD  \n~3x higher than NP  \nCountry Climate and Development Report 3  \nKey messages for power sector decarbonization (2)  \n• Fossil-fueled plants risk becoming economically unviable  \nunder more stringent decarbonization targets. More than 800 MW of coal could be retired before 2040 in all scenarios with decarbonization targets.  \n• Grid integration of VRE will require energy storage, policies to remunerate flexibility and ancillary services, together with an expanded and more efficient and resilient grid.  \n• Coordinated charging policies and incentives are needed to reduce the additional costs from large scale EV deployment.  \n• In the absence of coordinated charging policies, electrification of 70% of the vehicle fleet in NZP2050 increases electricity demand by ~70% and more than doubles peak load by 2050.  \nCO2 emissions today  \n500 gCO2/kWh  \nFossil based power system today  \nElectricity demand growth  \n4-6% p.a.  \nStrong economic growth and electrification  \nDeep Power Sector Decarbonization  \nRenewables share 2050:  \n67%  \nUp from 16% today Total investment costs:  \n25.5 billion USD  \n~3x higher than NP  \nCountry Climate and Development Report 4  \nMeeting 2030 NDC commitments and GHG emissions at least 30% below the reference emissions require additional investments of $2.6 billion in generation and $700 million in networks (discounted) .
