Overview

Energos Freeze delivers the Dominican Republic’s first floating storage and regasification unit (FSRU), providing critical LNG import infrastructure to support new gas-fired power generation. Moored at Pepillo Salcedo in Manzanillo Bay, the vessel enables fast, flexible access to LNG to strengthen energy security and support lower-carbon electricity production.

Challenge

Growing power demand and the need to reduce reliance on oil-fired generation required the rapid introduction of reliable natural gas supply. Developing a traditional onshore LNG terminal would have involved long timelines and high capital costs.

Solution

Energos deployed Energos Freeze as an offshore LNG import terminal, integrating large-scale LNG storage with onboard regasification. The FSRU model enabled quick deployment of import capacity without extensive onshore construction, aligning infrastructure delivery with new power plant commissioning.

Execution and Impact

Energos Freeze successfully received its first LNG cargo from the United States, initiating commissioning of a new 440-MW gas-fired power plant. The facility is expected to supply approximately 12% of the country’s power generation capacity, improving grid reliability and diversifying energy supply.

Energos Role

Energos owns and charters the FSRU under a multi-year agreement, delivering end-to-end LNG infrastructure capability — from vessel deployment through to long-term operation.

Outcome

The project demonstrates how floating LNG infrastructure can be deployed rapidly and at scale to support energy security, power generation, and national energy transition goals.
