Your requirements, are far less demanding than ours. That realization would go a long way in understanding why I have zero respect for Edenorte's management.

EDENorte North Coast: Electricity Outages & Restoration Announcements
With all the water and power issues there should be a development freeze until the utilities are stabilized
Actually I do realize that I have have very few requirements for living in this wonderful country.
When I get frustrated by issues of infrastructure here in the 🇩🇴
Instead of raging against the machine, I simply pay what I need to pay to resolve the issues that frustrate me.
Actions of a child @chico bill ?
I bruise my knees on the ground each day to give thanks that I have been giving an opportunity to not only live in the country but that throughout my life I have accumulated the resources that allow me to not just only live, but to live well.
I can buy an inverter and four batteries.
I cannot force stores to stock my favorite Bourbons.
An issue far more important to me.
You see I do not come from privilege.
I am gringo negro.
And I live on:
EASTSIDE!!

You guys are getting way off track.
This is a thread for announcements for outages; it's not for everyone's opinions about the electric companies.

Just for a change, se fue la luz since about 2p.m. this afternoon. 
In Cabarete, that is.Just for a change, se fue la luz since about 2p.m. this afternoon.
Must be maintenance to make Edenorte great again. Same in Camino Llibre.....also no water for 10 weeks and counting.
And still out for 4 hours and counting - and they want a fancy beach development across the road.
How will diesel smoke smell wafting over the beach
At 1:15 AM this morning there was a "bang" and yet another power outage, this time affecting our entire development.
I got a report number. I called again and Edenorte says they are not going to send someone from Puerto Plata to fix the problem until after 7 AM.
Customer service is getting worse. When they get here, they will probably just replace a fuse and not fix the root cause of the problem
so it will happen over and over and over...

We are a bit east of Encuentro on the non ocean side of the road. Still no arrival by a repair crew.Not specific to your development or we live in the same one
Taking breakfast at surflodge at Encuentro ,they have the same issue. I have the same issue in my development as well which is close by.
Being living here for 4 years full time..Definitively ,the service of EdNorte got worse over time....
Not yet for our development. Hopefully the repair crew is still in the area and will make the repairs we need as well.
Edenorte says contact with trees burned a power line. The trees need to be cut, power line replaced and then any blown fuses replaced.
Maybe sometime today.
I don't blame it on luck, it is incompetence from Edenorte.
