La Central Termoeléctrica Punta Catalina (CTPC) is the main source of electricity for the Dominicans. Its units, with a total capacity of 752 MW, can be supplied with very competitive prices, between 30% and 35% of the demand of the Interconnected National Electric System (SENI). On August 18, 2020, there were two units operating at maximum load and with excellent state-of-the-art equipment, which was rated at a superior availability rate of 92%, which is more than the international premium for this type of electric plant. .
Lamentably, President Luis Abinader commits a grave error in naming Antonio Almonte as head of the electricity sector, then he belongs to a group that has to sell its valiant asset to the Dominican people at the cost of the deadly massacre, and it will destroy many people. todos los dominicanos. To log this object, it has constructed a Punta Catalina destruction squadron, publicly captured by Almonte, which is dedicated to taking mediums to reduce its generation capacity and increase the level of association associated with it. See his story, it will not be the first time that he supports interests against the CDEEE and the nation. The PRM has the most capable and experienced human resources that Almonte can direct the Ministry of Energy and Minas and manage Punta Catalina.
In a recent article published in Listín Diario, Almonte wanted to talk about the potential of Punta Catalina. According to Babcock & Wilcox, the multinational state-of-the-art manufacturer Caldera, it was published in a map sent on 12 February 2021, based on the results of the sample tests carried out by McHale & Associates, which could generate the vapor sufficient for the turbogeneradores GE to produce 376 MW gross, Almonte sigue declaring that each unit has less real power. The intention of this falacia is to destroy the value of Punta Catalina by reducing its operational capacity, benefiting those inefficient private generators who increase additional rents while raising the price of energy in the spot market. This position is subject to the interests of the Dominican people and the government, since the Indian technical evaluations that, in terms of net megawatts, are the amount of energy sold to SENI, the United 1 can produce 345,586 MW nets and the United 2 can produce 347,677 MW nets, figures that exceed the level guaranteed by the EPC Contract which is 337.39 MW nets. These results were verified by Stanley Consultants in Clean Air.
Almonte reconciles in its article that dispenses with the technical principles of Punta Catalina, which were trained by the Odebrecht-Tecnimont-Estrella Consortium and the equipment manufacturers (Babcock & Wilcox, General Electric and Hamon Corporation). In addition to staffing operating and maintenance personnel, with experience in electric generation plants, has assembled staff of technicians and technicians with more than 20 years of generation and knowledge of the technology that is installed in Punta Catalina, cuyo merit es ser membros o sympatizantes del PRM. The decision of the person in charge of the operation of the air quality control system (AQCS), allows me to predict that a deterrent to this system will be taken in the next months due to lack of maintenance and adequate operation.
In his article, Antonio Almonte also signaled that “in an Acta Agreement of Anthology, Jaime Aristy Escuder and Rubén Bichara agreed to pay Odebrecht 11 million additional dollars, compared to the citation Anexo T.” This statement is completely false.
A simple analysis of the documentation quoted by Almonte reveals that it is affected by one of these options: a) only comprehensible reading deficit; b) pathological addition to mind; c) advanced chronic perversion syndrome; d) todas las anteriores.
In the Annex T of the EPC Contract, signed on 14 April 2014 and governing the relationship between the CDEEE and the Punta Catalina Constructor, presented the penalties and indemnities for failure to accept or disregard them. In the case of net potential, it is indicated that, for every MW of minor potential increased in respect of the value of the guarantee exempted by the Consorcio constructor (ie 337.39 MW), a penalty of two million dollars is applied.
Senator Almonte interprets the contents of the Annex T, as proposed by him, to signal that the CDEEE should pay a million dollars for each additional MW that logren produces the units of the central and therefore concludes that “if it defends Jaime has a total of 376 MW gross and 347 MW nets, so the CDEEE has to pay more Diez million extra to Odebrecht. This statement is completely incorrect, false and malicious. The CDEEE does not claim that the payee, nor the payee, is one hundredth of the constructor’s consortium by having launched a net potential superior to the level guaranteed by the contract. It is demonstrated that Almonte intends and defies the CDEEE to pay the additional 11 million dollars to Odebrecht or the Consorcio, which is linked to the EPC’s Annex A.
After trying to get all the information he needed, it was described in a final informio that was sent to the new administration of Punta Catalina, Almonte omite describes it next.
On December 19, 2019, the CDEEE and the Consorcio will coordinate their discussions on existing disputes, originating from advertisements presented in 2017 by the Consorcio, through a mediation process in the brand of the ADR Center of the International Chamber of Commerce ( ICC) in New York, where the EPC Contract has been ratified. In the course of this mediation process, the amount of the dispute is reduced from 973.2 million dollars to 395.5 million dollars, from the bills the governor only tends to decommission 59.5 million dollars, then to the Contingent Fund has 336 decommissioned dollars.
On January 20, 2020, New York will set the terms and conditions for the resolution of the dispute, establishing the form in which it is paid with the aim of ensuring the termination and marching of the United States. 2. Specifically, in section 9 of this case, these active page events are detailed, with a total of 59.5 million dollars raised in Alcanzaban. Among these events can be quoted: the synchronization of the Unit 2; the operation of the unit has an equal power of the mayor to 200 MW per hour and hours; and the operation of the unit has a potential power of 376 MW for the mayor and three millennia; between others. In the last event, the payment of a payment of 11 million dollars, which was maliciously confiscated by the lord Almonte with what is established in the Annex T of the EPC Contract, which refers to penalties and indemnities and no bonuses, prizes the additional benefits for the Consortium.
The Acta Agreement of 20 of 2020 that Almonte was a company in New York and is part of the discussion process of the existing disputes between the CDEEE and the Consorcio, which concluded in March 2020. Almonte differs from the second, and engages in the Babcock & Wilcox card which was renewed in its opinion, the resolution of this dispute was an event published in the international and local press, resulting in the fact that from this moment on the dominant governor benefits from the generation of electricity of both countries of Punta Catalina. It was agreed that the Dominican people should continue to use electricity during the recovery period imposed by the authorities to moderate the propagation of the covid-19 pandemic.
To make a final point in this exchange, propose to President Abinader that he authorize Almonte, his Minister of Energy and Minas, to assist in a debate on the hours, televised throughout the country, to ensure the integration of various channels of television, in order for the nation to be able to buy what it means and what the world knows about the most valued electrical activity of the Dominican people.
