While blackouts of eight hours are still common in several areas, the government reports that online production is sufficient to cover 90% of the demand. As reported in the Listin Diario, electrical generation attained 1,160 megawatts today, with a peak-hour demand of 1,631 megawatts. Radhames Segura, of the CDEEE, says that the government is awaiting US$25 million in assistance from the World Bank to stabilize the service.
