The government has made payments of RD$150 million on its debt to private generators. One generator, EGE Haina, recently complained that the generators were being discriminated against in favor of the distributors whenever the government makes payments. Following that announcement, the generators shut off several plants, increasing the hours of blackouts. EGE Haina was paid RD$46.98 million, RD$34.7 million went to Itabo and RD$18.5 million to Union Fenosa, among other payments.
