Superintendence of Electricity shall regulate rates
The Superintendence of Electricity could regulate the rates of the isolated electric systems, that is to say the ones that are not included in the interconnected national electricity system (<acronym title="Interconnected national electricity system">SENI</acronym>).
The superintendent of electricity, Juan Bautista G?mez said the entity has been working to regulate this sector for seven months, after many users complained about the high prices of the services.
The Superintendent of Electricity said the rates have to be based on the technology used for the production of the electricity.
Among the isolated systems are the ones in Puerto Plata, Punta Cana Macao, Juan Dolio, Las Terrenas, El Limon, Casa de Campo, Oviedo and Cap Cana
The official said that although the isolated systems are mostly located in tourist areas they do not only supply hotels, but also local people, and small businesses.
