This report assesses the potential for generating electricity from dry forest energy farms in the Dominican Republic. In addition to a national assessment of dry forest energy potential, the report describes a conceptual Dominican Republic dry forest energy farm and conversion facility. The economics of this facility used to generate electricity are compared with those of oil-fired electric generation options. The report also contains a recommended plan for energy farm development in the Dominican Republic and indicates need for further analysis.
