The United Arab Emirates and Dominican governments have just closed a deal that paves the way for immediate construction of a US$800 million electricity generation plant in the north western port of Manzanillo, in Monte Cristi province. Rumors that the UAE would build the plant have been circulating for close to a year, but this is the first concrete information on the subject. Listin Diario reports that the plant will run on natural gas, generating 600 MW of electricity.

The meeting took place at the Presidential Palace and construction is due to begin as soon as next week.
