TV investigative reporter Nuria Piera has presented findings of irregularities in the process of tendering to choose security services to the government-owned electricity distributors. She said that Edesur, EdeEste and EdeNorte have spent a billion pesos on security and surveillance. She said by far, the beneficiaries are five companies that have benefited from what she calls “unfair competition.”
She said that just for security, this year EdeNorte has paid RD$192.3 million to two companies, who provided 464 security guards and 18 vehicles. EdeSur has contracts with four companies since 2017, costing upwards of RD$403,742,378 over three years and EdeEste, last April, awarded contracts to two companies for RD$359,281,396.
