A collaboration between energy modelers and the Dominican Republic government explores innovative ways to finance decarbonization.<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

EDF is working with a group of energy modelers in the Multi-Country Electricity Transition Potential and Challenges Project (MCET)<\/a><\/span>1<\/span>, led by the <\/span>School of Engineering of the Pontifical Catholic University of Chile<\/span><\/a>, and the Dominican Republic’s Ministry of Energy and Mines (MEM) to form a strategic partnership to drive the country’s energy transition. <\/span>
\n\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

MCET is an EDF effort to help middle-income countries assess the opportunities and barriers to decarbonize their electricity sectors. Bringing together modelers, policymakers, and planners from eight developing countries, including MCET-Chile.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This partnership with the Dominican Republic uses an open source power system modeling tool, <\/span>Switch<\/span><\/a>, alongside\u00a0 technical support to design a detailed model of the Dominican electricity system.\u00a0 Together, we are exploring and evaluating innovative models like the <\/span>Energy Transition Accelerator (ETA)<\/span><\/a> mechanism, a U.S.-led global initiative that mobilizes resources to accelerate decarbonization in developing countries. It also equips the Ministry with a powerful planning tool to help them plan and prepare their energy transition.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Environmental Defense Fund (EDF) has been a key partner in this process, envisioning the creation of the MCET project and providing the necessary funding for MCET-Chile to transfer knowledge and tools to the Dominican Republic. Thanks to this support, MEM now has the tools and capabilities to model different medium and long-term scenarios in the operation of its electricity system, as well as to estimate the resulting GHG emissions. This allows MEM to have clear and transparent information to explore its options to join the ETA mechanism.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This collaboration has been fundamental to understand and efficiently face the challenges of the energy transition, not only from the Dominican Republic’s experience, but from a broad and representative perspective of the Global South. The transfer of technical and technological capabilities, in addition to facilitating the development of capacities and strategies adapted to local realities, also supports decision-making based on transparent, solid and reliable information, thanks to the design of representative scenarios. This point is fundamental in a context where developing countries must face the challenge of increasing their climate ambition while safeguarding the economic and social well-being of their populations. This provides a robust example of cooperation between Global South entities and can be a model for future cooperation.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

So far, the teams have made significant progress: the modeling of scenarios for the planning and operation of the Dominican electricity system until 2050 has made it possible to identify the most viable routes to reduce emissions, as well as the levels of investment needed to meet the country’s current policy objectives and climate commitments. In addition, the impact of regulatory measures to accelerate the adoption of renewable energies has been evaluated, ensuring that the transition is not only technically, but also socially just.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In the coming weeks, the final results of the project will provide the Dominican government with relevant background information to evaluate its participation in the ETA mechanism and help them plan their energy transition. However, the collaboration does not end with the delivery of inputs for decision making: MCET-Chile will continue accompanying MEM, facilitating the training of its technical team in the implementation and use of the Switch modeling tool, as well as the transfer of capacities for the operation of the electricity planning model developed for the Dominican Republic. The purpose of this is to continue promoting energy policies adjusted to the most recent analyses and the changing context of the sector. The experience is a great example of the value of South-South partnerships in the creation of collaborative solutions to help developing countries lead their transition to a cleaner and more equitable energy future.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Impulsando la Transici\u00f3n Energ\u00e9tica: Colaboraci\u00f3n entre MCET-Chile y el Ministerio de Energ\u00eda y Minas de Rep\u00fablica Dominicana en la exploraci\u00f3n de su participaci\u00f3n en el mecanismo <\/span><\/b>Energy Transition Accelerator<\/span><\/i><\/b> (ETA)<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

La iniciativa MCET-Chile<\/span>2<\/span>, dirigida por la <\/span>Escuela de Ingenier\u00eda de la Pontificia Universidad Cat\u00f3lica de Chile<\/span><\/a>, y el Ministerio de Energ\u00eda y Minas (MEM) de Rep\u00fablica Dominicana han consolidado una cooperaci\u00f3n estrat\u00e9gica para impulsar la transici\u00f3n energ\u00e9tica del pa\u00eds. Esta alianza, centrada en el acceso y aplicaci\u00f3n de la herramienta <\/span>open source<\/span><\/i> para la modelaci\u00f3n de sistemas el\u00e9ctricos,<\/span> Switch<\/span><\/i>, y el\u00a0 apoyo t\u00e9cnico en el dise\u00f1o e implementaci\u00f3n de un modelo detallado del sistema el\u00e9ctrico dominicano, busca proporcionar informaci\u00f3n clara y transparente durante el proceso de la exploraci\u00f3n y evaluaci\u00f3n del mecanismo <\/span>Energy Transition Accelerator (ETA)<\/span><\/a>, una iniciativa global liderada por Estados Unidos que moviliza recursos para acelerar la descarbonizaci\u00f3n en pa\u00edses en desarrollo. Adem\u00e1s, dota al MEM de una potente herramienta de planificaci\u00f3n para apoyar la preparaci\u00f3n de su transici\u00f3n energ\u00e9tica.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

El Environmental Defense Fund (EDF) ha sido un socio fundamental en este proceso, promoviendo la creaci\u00f3n del proyecto MCET y proporcionando el financiamiento necesario para que MCET-Chile transfiera conocimiento y herramientas hacia Rep\u00fablica Dominicana. Gracias a este apoyo, el MEM cuenta ahora con las herramientas y capacidades de modelar distintos escenarios de mediano y largo plazo en la operaci\u00f3n de su sistema el\u00e9ctrico, as\u00ed como tambi\u00e9n para estimar las emisiones de GEI resultantes. Esto permite contar con informaci\u00f3n clara y transparente para explorar sus opciones de integrarse al mecanismo ETA.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Esta colaboraci\u00f3n ha sido fundamental para entender y enfrentar de manera eficiente los desaf\u00edos de la transici\u00f3n energ\u00e9tica, no s\u00f3lo desde la experiencia de Rep\u00fablica Dominicana, sino desde una perspectiva ampliada y representativa del Sur Global. La transferencia de capacidades t\u00e9cnicas y tecnol\u00f3gicas, adem\u00e1s de facilitar el desarrollo de capacidades y estrategias adaptadas a la realidades locales, tambi\u00e9n sustenta la toma de decisiones basadas en informaci\u00f3n transparente, s\u00f3lida y confiable, gracias al dise\u00f1o de escenarios representativos. Este punto es fundamental en un contexto donde los pa\u00edses en desarrollo deben enfrentar el reto de aumentar su ambici\u00f3n clim\u00e1tica, resguardando el bienestar econ\u00f3mico y social de su poblaci\u00f3n. Adicionalmente, constituye un s\u00f3lido ejemplo de cooperaci\u00f3n entre entidades del Sur Global y puede servir de modelo para futuras cooperaciones.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Hasta ahora, los equipos han logrado avances importantes: la modelaci\u00f3n de escenarios de planeaci\u00f3n y operaci\u00f3n del sistema el\u00e9ctrico dominicano hasta 2050 ha permitido identificar las rutas m\u00e1s viables para reducir emisiones, as\u00ed como los niveles de inversi\u00f3n necesarios para cumplir con los objetivos de pol\u00edtica actual y compromisos clim\u00e1ticos del pa\u00eds. Adem\u00e1s, se ha evaluado el impacto de medidas regulatorias para acelerar la adopci\u00f3n de energ\u00edas renovables, garantizando que la transici\u00f3n no solo sea t\u00e9cnica, sino tambi\u00e9n socialmente justa.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Durante las pr\u00f3ximas semanas, los resultados finales del proyecto proporcionar\u00e1n al gobierno dominicano antecedentes de relevancia para evaluar su participaci\u00f3n en el mecanismo ETA y dar apoyo a su planificaci\u00f3n de transici\u00f3n energ\u00e9tica. No obstante, la colaboraci\u00f3n no termina con la entrega de insumos para la toma de decisi\u00f3n: MCET-Chile continuar\u00e1 acompa\u00f1ando al MEM, facilitando la capacitaci\u00f3n de su equipo t\u00e9cnico en la implementaci\u00f3n y uso de la herramienta de modelaci\u00f3n Switch, as\u00ed como la transferencia de capacidades para la operaci\u00f3n del modelo de planeaci\u00f3n el\u00e9ctrica desarrollado para Rep\u00fablica Dominicana. Esto con el prop\u00f3sito de seguir promoviendo pol\u00edticas energ\u00e9ticas ajustadas a los an\u00e1lisis m\u00e1s recientes y al contexto cambiante del sector. La experiencia significa un gran ejemplo sobre el valor de las alianzas Sur-Sur en la creaci\u00f3n de soluciones colaborativas, en el camino de facilitar que los pa\u00edses en desarrollo lideren su transici\u00f3n hacia un futuro energ\u00e9tico m\u00e1s limpio y equitativo.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
