Portfolio

InterEnergy holds a diverse investment portfolio consisting of two vertically integrated utility, 12 power generation companies, one technology and one electric mobility businesses spread across nine countries.

CEPM is a standalone electric utility, generating, transmitting, and distributing electricity in the eastern part of the Dominican Republic. It is the country’s highest credit-rated local electric company (AAA by Fitch). CEPM operates under a long-term definitive concession agreement with the National Energy Commission.

It serves the rapidly growing hotel and resort areas of Punta Cana, Bávaro, Macao, Uvero Alto and Miches in the East; the Senator (formerly RIU) hotel complex in Puerto Plata in the north; the Bahia Principe hotel in Samaná in the north-east; and Bayahíbe and La Romana in the South-East of the island with an available installed capacity of 315 MW. It supplies energy solutions and reliable complementary services, promoting sustainable development in the areas of influence.

CEPM was originally established by Rolando Gonzalez Bunster and his partners in 1992 to provide 2MW of power to the Fiesta Hotel in Bávaro. In 2011, CEPM developed and commissioned Quilvio Cabrera (8.25MW), the Dominican Republic’s first wind farm.

CEPM understand the importance of electricity in the development process of cities and towns, which is why CEPM works 24 hours a day to supply a first-class electricity service. Through 1,800 kilometers of high, medium, and low voltage transmission lines, the company provides energy to 65% of the national tourism sector – over 55,000 rooms – and to more than 55,000 residential and business customers. During the last two decades it has become the main promoter of growth and development in the region.

CEPM Zero program:

In 2022, CEPM begun to take the necessary steps to transform its overall generation to 100% renewable energy during this decade with its CEPM Zero program. Through the use of renewable energies such as wind and solar energy, storage systems such as batteries and reservoirs, as well as the use of green hydrogen it is intended to reach 20% penetration of renewable energies in the CEPM matrix by the end of 2023, 60% by the end of 2026, and reach 100% by the end of the decade. This program will contribute to turning its concession area into a world-class 100% green destination.

One of the first steps taken in this regard has been the expansion of the FV3 and FV4 photovoltaic parks, with a nominal power base of 100 MW, both located in Bávaro.

Services:

CEPM’s core hotel customers are a captive client base and have enabled it to successfully roll out a range of ancillary services:

Transmission: CEPM built the island’s first privately-owned transmission line in 2008, which connects CEPM to the Sultana del Este power barge in San Pedro de Macorís (125km). An Optical Ground Wire (OPGW) of 48 fibers was built into the transmission infrastructure which allows CEPM to supply telecommunication services.

District Energy Services: Waste heat is recovered from CEPM’s engine exhaust gases and used to produce superheated hot water that is distributed via a closed-loop circuit pipeline to nearby hotels. This is then passed through absorption chillers and is transformed into chilled and hot water supply for the hotels.

Thermal Energy Services: CEPM offers customers an efficient supply of sanitary hot water, steam, thermal oil and chilled water. Its portfolio of services includes the evaluation, design, implementation, operation and maintenance of thermal energy generation stations at the customer’s location.

Cable TV, Internet and fixed Telephony Services: CEPM owns 80% of Servicios TV Satelite, S.R.L. (“MCR”), a telecoms company in Bávaro that supplies pay TV, internet and fix telephony through its fiber network and telecoms license under the Activa brand. MCR leverages CEPM’s existing infrastructure to offer its digital services to hotels and residential customers in the area.

Prepaid service and smart metering: CEPM is the only electricity distribution company where 100% of its customers are managed through remote metering allowing it customers to see in real-time its energy consumption and migrate from pre-paid to pos-paid contracts easily.

Electric mobility: CEPM promotes electric mobility in the country as part of its commitment to sustainable and environmentally friendly processes, and as an effective way to fight climate change. We promote and lead the transition towards sustainable mobility and promote the electrification of the transportation sector.

Our goal is for our fleet to be 100% electricity-based by 2023.

InterEnergy’s Panama City-based subsidiary, UEP Penonomé II, S.A., built and operates the 215MW Laudato Sí wind farm in Penonomé, Coclé province. Laudato Sí is the largest wind farm in Central America with 215MW in total installed capacity.

It features 86 Goldwind G109 2.5MW wind turbine generators with a hub height of 90 metres. This turbine is a three-bladed, permanent magnet direct-drive, upwind, horizontal-axis, pitch-regulated, variable-speed machine. The wind farm was completed in early 2016 and is currently selling energy generated under long-term PPAs and into the spot market.

The Laudato Sí wind farm brings reliable and clean energy to the region, eliminating over 400,000 tons of CO2 emissions and saving 900,000 barrels of oil per year. The low cost of electricity production means that the wind farm’s output is positioned early in the supply stack, even ahead of hydro assets.  Wind and hydro production are generally complementary, with high wind power generation tending to occur during the low hydro season.

Raki is comprised of two co-located wind farms in the Bío Bío region near Concepción, Chile. They have a combined
total installed capacity of 15MW (9MW and 6MW, respectively). The wind technology consists of five 3MW Vestas V112 turbines.

The projects operate under a single 10-year PPA. Raki takes advantage of the Small Distributed Generation (“PMGD”) regime in Chile which grants beneficial connection arrangements to the distribution system and the option to choose different energy price mechanisms.

The 40MW Tecnisol solar project consists of four separate 10MW single axis tracker PV power plants.

The project is located in David, Chiriqui, in Western Panama, on a 97.8 hectare plot of land, and became operational in August 2018.
