DOMINION GLOBAL’s $300M Deal Powers Strategic Evolution

What does it mean when a major energy player sells a significant stake in a thriving renewable asset? For DOMINION GLOBAL, it means a strategic leap forward. In a bold move, the company has announced the sale of an 80% stake in its 321 MW solar portfolio in the Dominican Republic to Pioneer Funds and JMMB Funds for $300 million. This isn’t just a financial transaction—it’s a clear signal of DOMINION’s evolving role in the global energy transition. Let’s unpack how this deal marks a pivotal chapter in the company’s journey.

Rebalancing for Growth: A Strategic Asset Divestment

The $300 million sale values the entire 321 MW solar portfolio at $375 million, marking a notable achievement for DOMINION GLOBAL. This transaction not only boosts the company’s cash position by $102 million but also aligns with its broader portfolio simplification strategy. The assets—ranging from the operational 39 MW El Soco solar project to the under-construction 65 MW Levitals project—are tied into long-term PPAs with CDEEE, the Dominican Republic's national electric utility, at around $100/MWh. With a 20-year duration likely, the revenue predictability makes the portfolio especially attractive for institutional investors like Pioneer and JMMB Funds.

Redefining the Role: From Asset Holder to Project Enabler

This move isn’t just about the numbers—it represents a strategic pivot. DOMINION is shifting from owning energy infrastructure to becoming a turnkey project enabler for Independent Power Producers (IPPs). By retaining a 20% minority stake for three years, DOMINION maintains a development foothold while transferring operational risk. The company is honing its focus on design, execution, and delivery of renewable energy projects, freeing up capital for new ventures in decarbonization, environmental services, and the circular economy.

Capital Reallocation with a Climate Mission

Reinvesting the capital gained from this transaction allows DOMINION to double down on its commitment to sustainable development. In fact, this is not its first divestiture of the year—back in January, the company sold a 75% stake in a 74 MW solar PV portfolio in Italy to EQUITA. Each step of this asset-light strategy reinforces its alignment with the energy transition, enabling it to scale impact without heavy balance sheet constraints. The involvement of top-tier advisors like Citigroup further underscores the strategic importance of this move.

Conclusion:
DOMINION GLOBAL’s sale of its Dominican solar portfolio is more than a divestment—it’s a declaration of direction. By stepping into the role of a renewable project catalyst rather than a long-term asset owner, DOMINION is adapting smartly to the evolving energy ecosystem.
