A partial solution to the problems created by the high cost of imported energy affecting the economic well-being of the Dominican Republic is outlined. The introduction of cogeneration into the industrial sector could save a significant amount of imported fuel. COENER, a domestic government program, provides for private-sector cogeneration which, if implemented, could provide as much as 10% of the country's installed electrical-generating capacity. Results of an Agency for International Development study, reported here, indicate that the industries most likely to benefit from the cogeneration scheme and the institutional and regulatory barriers that must be overcome if a cogeneration program is to be successful.
