PRZOOM - /newswire/ - Paris, Ile-de-France, France, 2019/10/22 - Tractebel has been awarded for the first phase of the Owner’s Engineering for the expansion of their existing LNG Terminal in Santo Domingo (Dominican Republic) - Tractebel-Engie.com.

Thanks to a successful collaboration between AES and Tractebel (tractebel-engie.com) on the Costa Norte LNG Terminal in 2015-2017 (Panama), AES has awarded Tractebel for the first phase of the Owner’s Engineering for the expansion of their existing LNG Terminal in Santo Domingo (Dominican Republic).

The actual terminal allowed the Dominican Republic to diversify its energy mix and reduce dependency on oil imports as well as offering a cleaner source of power generation.

The project consists of an additional LNG storage tank, additional vaporization facilities and addition of 2 truck loading bays. AES approach is to drive multiple competitive FEED’s (Front End Engineering Design) aiming at selecting the most suitable one. Based on these studies, each EPC Bidder will propose its EPC price.

Tractebel’s role is to support AES Andres DR during this phase of the project and until selection of the EPC Contractor.

“This new contract, awarded on basis of successful collaboration Tractebel and AES had on their previous LNG Project in Panama, demonstrates once more the confidence AES has in Tractebel, and its trust in Tractebel expertise and reactivity. The success of this phase is particularly important for Tractebel, as we aim to be awarded the next phase (Owner’s Engineering during EPC execution)” said ZECH Christian, Tractebel senior project manager.
