I live in Puerto Plata. There is a large aquarium in Cofresi - Ocean World - which has its own power plant - for painfully obvious reasons. The plant has excess capacity; the entire immediate neighborhood wants to tie in, abandoning ENEDORTE - for the same reasons. EDENORTE claims it is illegal? No willing seller & no willing buyer of electric power can enter into private contracts to buy & sell electric power! Why? Other potential, willing, foreign purchasers have told me the same thing. Shouldn't the national government make these decisions? How can a bankrupt, incompetent, & corrupt co. - EDENORTE - prevent a consumer from finding & buying power anywhere she chooses? Illogical? Unfair? Counter productive? Absurd? In the national interest? Is the policy of EDENORTE legally, morally, or socially defensible. Where is the IMF? Responses from EDENORTE on this thread most welcome.
