The National Energy Commission and the Special Energy Commission have joined forces to make a case for the total overhaul of the national energy market. In their shared vision, this would include the re-sale of Ede-Norte, Ede-Sur and the shares in Ede-Este, as well as the state?s participation in the Itabo and Haina generation facilities. The commissions are also calling for strict adherence to General Electricity Law Number 125-01, which mandates the conversion of the hydroelectric generation sites and the transmission network into two separate, independent businesses called the CDEEE. This proposal is stated in the report ?Proposal to Reform the Dominican Electric Sector,? which was drawn up by the two commissions with the assistance of USAID and the World Bank. The Dominican state is assigned the role of regulator and would not be ?part and parcel? of the electric sector. Since the reform cannot be done at once, however, the commission proposes that the process first return the Ede-Norte and Ede-Sur to the private sector until the groundwork is ready for a complete reform of the sector. The letter of intent that supported the IMF Standby agreement contains the government promise to disclose the market value of the two EDEs by 15 May of this year.
