President Danilo Medina has sent a bill to the Senate, designed to permit the Dominican government to re-enter the business of generating electricity on a “temporary” basis. The legislation is aimed at providing low-cost and environmentally friendly electricity generation while changing the local fuel generation matrix. One article of the proposal states that the goal is to provide universal, continuous, efficient and quality electricity to the entire population. The proposal says that this project is exempted from the restrictions imposed by the Law 360-07 on government purchases of goods and services.
