The power outages that have been affecting the country are not due to lack of generation but rather to faults in transmission, an area that comes under the responsibility of the Dominican State-Owned Electrical Companies (CDEEE). As reported in Diario Libre, EdeNorte and EdeSur power distribution companies have proved that the payments to generating companies have been made on time since January to the present, to show that the generators were not being shut down to demand the payment of debts. The Superintendence of Electricity has stated that supply has reached 90% of demand, bringing the service back to normal after three consecutive general blackouts over the last five days. The CDEEE hasn’t explained the reasons for the faults in the Haina and Itabo networks, nor are the generators explaining why they shut down their units.
