ST Engineering, Siemens secure contract for Estrella del Mar IV
The facility will produce 145MW at the shores of the Dominican Republic.
ST Engineering’s Marine business and Siemens Energy has been awarded a second contract by Transcontinental Capital Corporation Ltd. to deliver Estrella del Mar IV, a barge-mounted power plant off the shores of Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, to be completed in 2028.
Under the agreement, Siemens will supply a 145MW combined cycle power plant featuring two SGT-800 gas turbines, and one SST-600 steam turbine.
ST Engineering’s marine business will supply the engineering design, procurement, construction of the floating power plant, and its transportation and installation.
“By constructing the plant in Singapore and delivering it as a complete plug-and-play solution, the project reduces both cost and construction time compared to a land-based power facility,” Siemens Energy said.
The Estrella del Mar IV will be installed alongside the Estrella del Mar III, which was commissioned in 2022.
