Twelve of the generators went offline yesterday, initiating a new round of prolonged blackouts for most of the country. All 12 units cited a lack of fuel as the cause of their departure from the grid. While online generation was at 1071 MW, demand at peak hours stood at 1659.9 MW, sending parts of Santo Domingo into blackouts that were reported to have lasted from between 6 and 15 hours. AES Los Mina V and VI, Palamara-La Vega, Smith-Enron, Cogentrix I, Haina I, Cogentrix III, Monte Rio, AES Andres and Puerto Plata I were all offline.
