DEAL CASES

Trelia Energy | Manzanillo

 

In January 2021, Trelia Energy Advisors invested in Manzanillo Gas & Power, a Dominican Republic project that includes an LNG regasification terminal, combined-cycle plants and transmission infrastructure. With Trelia’s support, the project expanded to ~840MW of expected capacity and, in May 2025, both blocks were merged into a single platform to streamline construction, financing and operations. The project is expected to create around 3,000 jobs and boost economic activity in a less developed region near the Haitian border.
