With the approval of the Renewable Energy Law by the Dominican Congress, a renewed sense of urgency has entered several wind generation projects in east and south of the Dominican Republic. According to Marta Fernandez, the manager of the Punta Cana-Macao Energy Consortium, the Bayahibe Electric Company will begin producing nine megawatts (MW) of energy in a pilot program, and a 100-150 MW project in Barahona will get started. According to Fernandez, the nine megawatts will go into the network run by SETEM, the company that has been supplying the tourist areas in the DR's eastern region with 24/7 electricity since 1992. Many public buildings, including schools, police stations and hospitals will get free electricity from the project.
