The CDE reported it is revising its contracts with several private generators. Many of these contracts have expired and need to be renewed. Several of the contracts call for privileged conditions and terms for the suppliers. For instance, the Smith & Enron (Puerto Plata) contract allowed the company to bill based on installed capacity and not power supplied (the plant could practically shut down and continue billing). The CDE has reached an agreement with this company that will enable it to only pay for energy served. Other contracts up for negotiations are those signed with AES Dominican Power (Los Mina V and Los Mina 6), Estrella del Norte (Wartsila), Metaldom and CTP Puerto Plata.
