Cesar Sanchez announced that this government foresees the installation of an additional 1,650 megawatts per day. This would double the present capacity of power plants in the DR, and would resolve the present power deficit, he said. He also announced that the US$300 million received for the capitalization of state utility divisions needs to be deposited in Dominican banks, of which the state bank, Banco de Reservas should receive 50%.
