Both Las Galeras and Las Terrenas have electricity 24/7 with the power only out for several minutes a day when they switch generators.
Samana city has been receiving intermittent power from the generators at the airport, on and off several times during the 24hr day as they ration the diesel fuel.

Thanks folks for your updates and please remember to keep your posts short and to the point in this thread as to your power status. Then we can see at a glance who has grid power across the country.
Like Las Terrenas and Las Galeras the electricty in Punta Cana, Bavaro, and Macao is 24/7. Usually once or twice a week the power is out 2-5 min when CEPM is switching generators during early AM. Regards, PJT
