TotalEnergies has signed a Heads of Agreement with Energía Natural Dominicana, a joint venture between AES Dominicana and Energas, for the supply of 400,000 tonnes of liquefied natural gas annually to the Dominican Republic. The agreement, subject to the finalisation of definitive Sale and Purchase Agreements, is scheduled to begin in mid-2027 and will run for a period of 15 years. Pricing under the contract will be indexed to Henry Hub.

This strategic agreement is set to support ENADOM’s supply of natural gas to a new 470 MW combined-cycle power plant currently under construction in the country. Once operational, the plant will enhance the Dominican Republic’s electricity generation capacity while advancing the country’s efforts to transition towards cleaner energy sources.

The project forms a key part of the Dominican Republic’s broader energy transition strategy by reducing its reliance on coal and fuel oil in favour of natural gas — a less carbon-intensive alternative. The introduction of additional LNG volumes through this agreement further strengthens the nation’s energy security and environmental sustainability.

Commenting on the agreement, Gregory Joffroy, senior vice president LNG at TotalEnergies, said:“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.”

Edwin De los Santos, chief executive officer of ENADOM, added:
“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 demonstrated investment capabilities, supports the provision of 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.”

With this long-term agreement, TotalEnergies continues to expand its presence in the Caribbean LNG market, while ENADOM reinforces its role as a critical player in delivering cleaner, more sustainable energy solutions to the Dominican Republic.
