Las Terrenas had a private power company and it worked extremely well. Power outages were very rare. Can't remember all the details but the government took it over and power outages are the norm now.

Around 13-14 years ago a prominent moderator on DR1 told me that the DR would solve the electricity problem. It might be slightly better now or is it that everyone has generators, inverters, solar panels, etc.? The average Dominican has seen no improvement imo.
