This is the company Mr. Oakey, keeps.

Notice I never responded to the obvious racist comment?

Folks can be racist, no matter what color of their skin.

You are an excellent example!

LOL.

See below how easy it is to trigger The-twat-from-DR. Just say something negative about the Open Air Brothel he lives in, then duck. Because the male bovine excrement that he is constantly producing with his keyboard is coming your way!

Wow, Uber is really bad in Sosua. Every driver wants to be paid more than the standard rate, they want extra money.

Electricity should be free in the Dominican Republic. The renewables are there. Add nuclear power plants to provide the 40 base of constant power the grid needs and the problem is solved.

FWIW…I agree, the DR has an endless supply of renewable energy at its disposal and only need take advantage of it. And IMHO, don’t need nuclear as their base load power source and could do base load power with renewables.

South Australia as a Case Study:

To show how DR could transition their base Load, intermittent and peaker power plants, with renewables, I used South Australia, as a case study example, to compare what they’ve done, successfully.

Background Info on South Australia (SA):

The population in the state of South Australia, in 2024, is estimated to be approximately 1.8 million people. The Dominican Republic has 11.1 million people, and has approx. 6 times more people than South Australia.

South Australia, has around 984,321 sq.km (380,048 sq.mi) of land area. The Dominican Republic has around 48,671 sq.km (18,792 sq.mi) of land area. SA is approx. 20 times larger, in land area than the Dominican Republic.

South Australia is, at the frontline of the global energy transition, having transformed its energy system from 1% to over 69% renewable energy, in just over 20 years. Between June 2022 and June 2023, South Australia’s energy generation via renewables has been 72.3% compared to 36.3% nationally.

South Australia phased out coal in 2016, becoming the first mainland state to do so and hopes to have their grid as 100% renewables by 2027.

South Australia’s Energy Demand Loads:

SA’s Consumption & Demand
• Annual Electricity Consumption: 11,506 GWh (or 11.5 TWh)
• Typical Peak Demand: Is between Peak Demand: 3,084 MW (heat waves periods and 2,000 to 2,500 MW during cooler periods. The high was reached on Thursday 23 February 2023 @ 7:30pm).
• Base Load: Unknown, but with 73.4% renewables, it’s safe to say they have flipped the scales and now renewables run base loads and nat. gas is being as the intermittent/peak load energy source.

Note #1: SA’s Annual consumption is only half that of the DR, for a population that is 6x smaller.
Note #2 : SA’ Peak Demand is only about 580 MW more than the DR, for a population that is 6x smaller.

South Australia’s Energy Mix:

Renewables (2023) (73.4%, up from 69.0%)
• Solar: 26.5% (rooftop solar provided 17.7%, up from 16.5%, large-scale solar PV farms, providing another 8.8%. Note: over 40% of households have rooftop solar, stabilize the grid.)
• Wind: 46.9% (up from 44.6 in 2022, wind farms accounted for the largest portion to the grid, with major installations at Hornsdale, Lake Bonney, and Snowtown)
• BESS: 30% of Australia’s home batteries are in SA. Large-scale batteries like the Hornsdale Power Reserve (150 MW) and residential batteries (30,000+ installed) stabilize the grid and store excess renewable energy.

Non-Renewables Sources and Imports (30%)
• Natural Gas: 25.4% (down from 29.5%, gas-fired plants are a diminishing but still critical backup)
• Interstate Imports: 2-5% (South Australia connects to the National Electricity Market (NEM) via interconnectors with Victoria (Heywood and Murraylink).

Recap of the Dominican Republic’s Energy Mix:

• Annual Cost of Fossil Fuel, for generation of electricity: Between $2.55 - $3.47 billion
• Annual electricity consumption (2023)*: 22,193 GWh
• Peak demand: 3,662 MW (megawatts)
• DR’s Energy Mix: Heavy fossil fuels at 83.1% (oil: 12.3%, natural gas: 40.6%, coal: 30.2%) and some renewables at 16.9% (solar: 5.7%, wind: 4.3%, hydro: 6.1% and bio-fuels: 0.8%)
• Base Load (or Baseload or Base Input) for DR: 2,197 MW (or 0.60 x 3,662 MW Peak Load. Just a best effort guessimate)

A Solution for the Dominican Republic (DR) Base Load and Beyond:

Okay, so here’s the deal, with how the DR, should be able to reach 100% renewables, for their base load electricity grid needs. My recommendation, is for DR to have like a renewables clean energy plan for the next 15-20 years.

A plan, which outlines their intentions, commitments and schedule, showing steady continual growth and build-outs of smaller manageable projects, of like 5% - 7% SWB worth of renewables, added annually to the grid.

Yeah, I know, not exactly the explosive, home run solution, you were perhaps looking for, but the DR, need only take an additional 6-8 years, if they followed a constant regiment of 5-7% SWB yearly implementations to reach your estimated 40% base load (or a few years later to reach 60%). Considering the DR, is already at 17% renewables.
Here is my summation of levelized cost of electricity (LCOE) in ranges, using approx. estimates from several sources for the years 2023 (or 2024), in $/MWh, for those energy technologies, I could find:

LCOE Ranges for Energy Technologies in 2023 (or 2024):
• Nuclear Reactor: $90–140+ (high upfront costs, delays)
• SMR: $60–90+ (early projects at upper end, targets lower with scale)
• Solar (utility-scale): $30–50 (lower with sun-rich regions, higher with storage)
• Onshore Wind: $35–55 (site-dependent, rises with transmission costs)
• Offshore Wind: $70–150+ (higher upfront/transmission costs, but improving with scale and tech)
• BESS (4-hour storage):$ 120–170 (lithium-ion, varies with duration/cycles)
• Pumped Hydro: $60–200 (site-specific, high upfront but low operating costs)
• LNG (gas peaker): $50–100 (import costs, volatile fuel prices, carbon costs add ~20–30/MWh)
• Coal: $60–100+ (import costs, older plants higher; carbon costs push to 80–150+)

Cost Ranges for Energy Hybrid Systems using 2023 (or 2024):
• Solar + BESS: $50–100/MWh (sun-rich regions with 4–8h storage).
• Wind + BESS: $60–120/MWh (onshore wind with 4–12h storage).

LCOE Sources for 2023 or 2024:
• International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA): https://www.irena.org/-/media/Files/...ts_in_2023.pdf
• Lazard's Levelized Cost of Energy Analysis: https://www.lazard.com/media/xemfey0...e-2024-_vf.pdf
• U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA): https://www.eia.gov/outlooks/aeo/ele...COE_report.pdf
• The International Energy Agency (IEA): https://www.iea.org/data-and-statist...ario-2022-2030

Closing Arguments:

As I look around the world’s at those that are making the transition to a greener electrical grid, I looked to see what is working, what is cheap and less expensive, what is reliable and sustainable, and what is simple in design and complexity, requiring low maintenance and technical expertise to build, service and maintain. More often than not, it’s SOLAR, WIND and BESS (SWB), with some natural gas to round out the energy mix.

Remember it took the state of South Australia 20 years to go from 1% to 72.3% today. In a few more years, their grid, will be 100% renewables, with excess electricity, to either export it via interconnects or used to make green hydrogen.

And like SA, who have “flipped the switch” and “turn the tables” on their fossils fuels plants, being the ones that provide intermittent energy when needed (and soon to be phased out), is the right approach the DR should follow, to save millions of dollars (IMHO) and wean themselves off of fossil fuels.

So YES, I think DR, can absolutely establish and transition to 40% (or 60%) base load (and beyond), with 100% renewables. It will just take a small, but reasonable amount of time. But doable, considering DR has 6x the population of SA, but ONLY consumes twice (2x) as much annual electricity.

Note, I didn’t get into specifics, in terms of a cost/benefit analysis, but with the LCOEs provided, one can easily figure out, a half-dozen different cost scenarios. I suspect it’s going to be a mixture of SWB (with more WIND than SOLAR and even pumped hydro), given DR’s small land size and available space (that being 20x smaller than SA), lots of offshore wind will need serious consideration.

Finally, I think this approach works best for DR, while the rest of the world (mostly the very rich nations), use their time and money to figure out, how viable and cost efficient, SMRs really are, as the industry becomes more mature.

(Just don't litter the island and the beaches with windmills though, might affect tourism. And what's this "water power" business?

Yeah, I hear ya...however, you’re gonna have NIMBY with nuclear, as well as with windmills. But, if “shit” happens, I’d rather have windmills blow up.

Sorry about the view, of the offshore windmills, but to make an omelet, you’ve gotta crack open, a few eggs! However, the view of offshore solar, doesn't look to bad or is that still NIMBY?

Posts about fucking is in the Sosua Reports threads. There are many people lamenting about the quality of the prostitutes in Sosua now. No one is being flamed or shamed except by you.

Example of Twat-from-the-DR being two faced and talking out side of his neck!

The internet never forgets. So I invite everyone to review the original post in full to see how Twat-from-the-DR is being two faced yet again and talking out the side of this neck. Doing the very thing he is complaining about:

Twat-from-the-DR said there is no PIMPin in Sousa. A grown man who calls him Tio contradicts him. Coolie High even says you need a PIMP to find a good prostitute in Sosua now..

I have plenty of respect for all who post on ISG. You are the one that does not want anyone to express anything negative about Sosua.

I can go down a long list of those who you started Flame Wars with because they do not want to hold hands with you and dance around a fire on Sosua beach while chanting how great Sosua is. Remember the internet never forgets.

Have you presented your grievances to THE ADMINISTRATOR because I dont give a fuck!! I am going to keep going hard in the paint until you shut the fuck up about Thailand and Pattaya or you visit there and write an opinion from experience like Explorer8939 did with Sosua!

Explorer8939 gets no love from me, but I believe he is accurately describing the difference between Sosua and Pattaya. There is not hate in the Thailand Forums. In fact, I get nothing but love. Even from your fan boys. AllBitch loves me. I told him to fuck off. Early and often. He loves you too, but not in a good way. It's a man / man love and it's all about his homosexual fantasies. You keep leading him on. You are very cruel in that way. ROTFLMAO!

Thailand get 35 million visitors a year; The Dominican Republic get 10 million. There are 44432 reports in the Pattaya Reports thread There are 35570 reports in the Sosua Reports threads. Enough said!

Hey, what happened to the names you used for me? What happened? Did you have a sudden loss of imagination so you just decided to copy another poster who never ever mentions your name?

When you see me bow!

The Dominican Republic has a higher rate of violent crime than Thailand in every category. This includes: Homicide, Serious Assault and Sexual Assault.
