The Dominican Electricity Industry Association (ADIE) has issued a call for improved management and distribution efficiency by the nation’s electricity distributors (the EDEs). The distributors are all state owned and operated.
The association says that the major challenges facing the National Interconnected Electric System (ENDI) are in management and efficiency in the distribution of electricity. The association, which is made up of the electricity generators, says that this is the most critical step pending on the road to development and the ability to plan for the future and achieve the target of having affordable energy for the whole population.
The 2018 ADIE Report that was presented to a group of journalists says that the national electricity system is reasonably stable and the energy available during 2018 was 12% above demand, reaching an accumulated value of 15,702 Gw. The report states that planning, public policies and forecasts of the needs of the electricity subsector in order to determine the long-range vision are the basis of achieving stability in the supply and development of the electricity supply.
