TotalEnergies to Supply LNG to Dominican Republic Under 15-Year Deal with ENADOM

TotalEnergies has signed a Heads of Agreement (HoA) with Energia Natural Dominicana (ENADOM)—a joint venture between AES Dominicana and Energas—for the long-term supply of liquefied natural gas (LNG) to the Dominican Republic. Under the agreement, TotalEnergies will deliver 400,000 tons of LNG per year for 15 years, starting in mid-2027. Pricing will be indexed to the Henry Hub benchmark.

The LNG will support the fuel needs of a new 470 MW combined-cycle power plant currently being developed by ENADOM. Once operational, the plant is expected to significantly boost the Dominican Republic’s electricity generation capacity.

This partnership marks a major step forward in the country’s energy transition. By replacing coal and fuel oil with cleaner-burning natural gas, the Dominican Republic aims to reduce its carbon footprint while ensuring a more reliable and efficient power supply. “We are pleased to have signed this agreement to answer, alongside AES and its partners, the energy needs of the Dominican Republic. This new contract underscores TotalEnergies’ leadership in the LNG sector and our commitment to supporting the island’s energy transition. It will be a natural outlet for our US LNG supply which will progressively increase”, said Gregory Joffroy, Senior Vice President LNG at TotalEnergies.

“This agreement with TotalEnergies, is the result of the confidence placed in the Dominican Republic’s energy sector and, specifically, in ENADOM and AES. This partnership, alongside ENADOM’s has demonstrated investment capabilities in providing natural gas to the Dominican electricity market by ensuring a reliable, competitive, and environmentally responsible energy supply. ENADOM is proud to play a pivotal role in the expansion and strengthening of the nation’s energy matrix in the Dominican Republic”, said Edwin De los Santos, Chief Executive Officer at ENADOM.
