Platergroup is a pioneer in the Natural Gas sector in the Dominican Republic, and has positioned itself firmly in the efficient development of all types of energy solutions.
Our goal is the sustainable development of energy projects, achieving maximum efficiency and reducing the operating costs of our own and our customers' facilities.
The structure of the Platergroup group of companies is constituted with the objective of responding to the various sectors within the energy world, such as the LNG sector, renewable energies, engineering, promotion and project management, O & M, etc.
Platergroup was born from the vision of two young entrepreneurs as a company focused on the distribution of Natural Gas. It soon diversified to different energy projects and grew, allowing for the participation of financial groups that allow a greater reach and growth and giving the possibility of developing projects that demand more and more human and financial resources.
Platergroup is a champion of energy efficiency and sustainability as tools to achieve a coherent use of energy, achieve energy savings for its customers and contribute to the preservation of the environment.
The company offers its customers efficiency solutions based on their consumption and their needs while strongly advocating for the use of renewable energy.
Platergroup is present in the Dominican Republic, Haiti and Puerto Rico thus positioning itself in several of the largest economies of the Caribbean while still expanding in the region.
This means that we are present in two of the largest economies in the Caribbean region.
Platergroup is committed to the society in which it works, so it collaborates in various social and cultural projects.
Platergroup contributes to the success of Dominican cinema by producing movies like these:
We offer products and services with the highest levels of quality, requiring our suppliers and sub-contractors to comply with current quality and environmental standards, while also monitoring them to ensure said compliance. This approach allows us to constantly improve each and every one of our organizational processes on a daily basis.

We have implemented a Quality Management System according to the ISO 9001:2015 standard, as well as an Environmental Management System according to the ISO 14001:2015 standard. Both systems have been certified by INTECO and IQNET.
PLATERGROUP is a company that offers energy solutions that include the commercialization and transportation of Natural Gas, as well as the projection, installation, operation and maintenance of energy systems.
We are highly commited to:
Our clients: Meeting their needs by offering competitive products and services with the required levels of quality and efficiency.
Society and the authorities: Complying with applicable external and internal rules, laws, regulations and procedures.
We accomplish this by following and reviewing goals and objectives, commitment to continuous improvement and fostering a teamwork environment for the effectiveness of our system.
For Platergroup, corporate responsibility means contributing to the development of a country and its people through environmental and social policies focused on sustainability. It's about creating a winning situation for everyone. Because energy is in everything, because we believe that the development of countries and the welfare of societies depends on their access to energy, but access based on sustainable development so that the world of tomorrow is much better than today.
To build the company and society we want, Platergroup has made voluntary commitments in these areas:
In accord with our concern for people, in Platergroup we maintain a policy of zero accidents. That's why we design our projects with the safest execution, operation and maintenance possible for people, the environment and the facilities themselves.

We want to leave our mark on the world, a mark of respect for the environment, the biodiversity and the people who live in it. The best way to guarantee the future of the company and the world is not to mortgage our present. Therefore in our projects we always think about the environmental impact and we try to reduce it according to our commitment of sustainability.
In the last 20 years, there has been a clear tendency for many governments to lower energy dependence on fossil fuels. Renewable energies are becoming more and more powerful, placing themselves at the forefront of technological innovation in companies and countries.
The energy that the sun gives us is everything. It gives us light, gives us heat, produces photosynthesis in plants... Today, solar photovoltaic energy is the most developed way to take advantage of solar energy, but can also be harnessed by solar thermal energy.
China, the United States, Germany, Spain have all invested heavily in wind energy in recent years. Another source of renewable energy that has much to do with the sun, wind energy is not only beneficial to the environment but is the engine of the economy.
It is the most energy-efficient renewable energy. It is a clean energy that can be transformed to very different scales through, for example, mini hydroelectric plants.
We are a company committed to the environment, but we are aware that respecting the environment, biodiversity and the people who live in it is not a job for a few but instead a responsibility of everyone. That's why we propose certain actions for being a 'Responsible Citizen'.
Turning off the tap while we do not use it when brushing our teeth or scrubbing dishes, fixing a dripping faucet or showering instead of bathing are simple gestures that help save water. Also companies and administrations can do a lot. Do not wait for shortages to save. It's up to you to make sure there's no shortage of water for anyone.
Natural Gas is increasingly becoming an alternative to classic liquid fuels. It is clean and cheap and numerous cities have an increasing number of service stations where compressed natural gas (CNG) is offered.
We all like to feel fresh at home and at work but it is not necessary to put the air "on max" and then have wear sweaters. We can lower the thermostat a little so that there is a reasonable balance between comfort and electric expense. Although at times somewhat subjective, the recommended comfort temperature is usually estimated at around 21 ° C. Regulate the thermostat of your air at this temperature and you will see how you save.
There is no doubt that the world needs energy to function. Good management of current energy systems, the use of new technologies and the efficient and sustainable use of the planet's resources will ensure the energy of the future.
With the correct use of modern building materials and new technologies (internet, cell phones and tablets), we are achieving increasingly energy-efficient buildings. With a good design you can achieve energy savings up to 50%.
Recycling may seem like a nuisance but it brings numerous benefits to the environment and to ourselves. At the same time that recycling reduces the dumping of waste into the environment, it is used as raw material to manufacture many new things. In other words, we benefit twice... But, what is made with what we recycle Look here.
The "smart city", sometimes also called "efficient city" or "super-efficient city", refers to a type of urban development based on sustainability that is able to respond adequately to the basic needs of institutions, enterprises, and the inhabitants themselves, both economically, as well as in operational, social and environmental aspects.
