Line repairs bring about eight hour blackouts

The AES Empresa Distribuidora de Electricidad del Este (responsible for an area of 11,485 Kms2), and Union Fenosa’s Distribuidora Sur (16,475 Kms2) and Distribuidora Norte (19,060 Kms2) say that long eight hour power outages are because they are repairing transmission lines. AES published its schedule of outages, not so the Unión Fenosa distributors. AES says that power service will be back to normal next week in their territory, which goes from East of Máximo Gómez Avenue in Santo Domingo through to the east coastline.
