1. OBJECT
The purpose of this document is to describe Dominion's minimum requirements for the provision of
Medium Voltage (MV) cabling.
These actions are part of the Photovoltaic Project called LUCILA located in the municipality of
Nizao, Peravia province (Dominican Republic).

2 LOCATION
The 10.3 MWac LUCILA Photovoltaic Solar Plant will be located in the municipality of Nizao,
Peravia province (Dominican Republic).
Most of the surface of the project will be occupied by the photovoltaic generator, providing access
roads to the investment and transformation centers distributed throughout the plant. There will be a
fence around the perimeter.
The activity carried out by the plant will be the generation of electrical energy using solar energy
incident on a surface of photovoltaic panels as a primary energy source, arranged in such a way as to
maximize the capture of solar energy and optimize the energy generated in the entirety of the plant.
