Industries call for meetings for signing of the Electricity Pact

Dominican Republic Association of Industries vice president Circe Almanzar is calling on President Danilo Medina to convene the Economic and Social Council for the signing of the multi-sectorial electricity pact “as soon as possible”.

As set out in the National Development Strategy Law, the pact seeks to harmonize positions for a comprehensive reform of the complex electricity sector and improve the country’s competitiveness.

“We have been waiting for the announcement since January… we have done preliminary work, even the initiative of a draft of the executive order in the Economic and Social Council, there have been debates… all is ready. We do not understand the reasons for the delay,” she said.
