Santo Domingo.- Costa Rica’s ambassador Marta Nuñez disclosed that her country endeavors to formulate a bilateral agreement that would define and establish her country’s cooperation to abate the energy crisis that affects the Dominican Republic.
In Costa Rica, she said, everyone pays their energy bills and said that, for example, a large home with pool and controlled temperature pays some US$130 a month.
Lower income sectors are coordinated in cooperatives for energy supply and receive less expensive service, without any subsidies.
The diplomat affirmed that in her country, 96% of energy is clean, mostly generated by hydroelectric, solar, or eolic sources.
