Edesur circuit affected by out of service plants
Dominican Association of the Electric Industry said that national production exceeds the demand of the population

The blackouts continue to wreak havoc in different sectors of the Dominican Republic. Issue that becomes contradictory when the Dominican Association of the Electric Industry (ADIE) understands that the production of national electricity exceeds the demand of the population.
The Southern Electricity Distribution Company ( Edesur ) reported Thursday that five (5) generating plants are currently out of service, representing 554 megawatts, which has affected the service to its customers. The distributor did not indicate which plants are out of service.
Citizens are complaining on social networks and the different communication channels about the long hours of blackouts they are receiving in their sectors, despite paying for the service. And they ensure that the invoices continue to arrive equal or greater.
The ADIE recently reported that currently the national electricity system's electricity generation park has 2,970 megawatts of available capacity to supply all of the demand declared by electricity distribution companies.
Based on the behavior of the electrical system in 2018, whose data is offered by the Coordinating Body (OC), the ADIE prepared a photograph of the entire power generation park nationwide, which evidenced that there is a surplus of energy 254 megawatts available if the maximum demand registered by the country which reached 2,700 megawatts is taken into account.
According to the information provided by the ADIE, these 2,970 megawatts correspond to the installed capacity of both thermal, renewable and hydroelectric plants, which are available and operating in the system. However, the entity said that 67 megawatts of energy are not available, while another 270 could enter the system if appropriate market conditions apply.
On Wednesday (yesterday) Antonio Cruz Rojas, executive vice president of the National Council of Merchants and Entrepreneurs of the Dominican Republic (Conacerd), said that in 2018 the blackouts represented more than RD $ 30,000 million and "continues to increase because the blackouts continue." "And I want them to know that as long as there are more blackouts for us the cost is higher because we are damaged products that must be refrigerated."
