SANTO DOMINGO.- The blackouts resumed in the metropolitan yesterday after being felt in different parts of the country for several days, suspensions which energy corporation CDEEE chief Radhamés Segura blames on several plants being out of service, mostly for lack of fuel, maintenance or failures.
He said Cogentrix plants went out of service because of a US$7.5 million debt, that he said was to be paid in full yesterday; Smith and Enron has boiler failures although some tests had been conducted yesterday; Los Mina Turbines V and VI lacked natural gas as the fuel tanker had been delayed, and Haina I and IV were out of the grid for lack of fuel, the same as for the Palamara-La Vega
The situation led to a shortage of more than 800 megawatts in the national grid’s lines yesterday, although Segura expects an improvement today.
The official, speaking on Colorvision Channel 9 today, said starting Monday night around 470 megawatts began to reenter the system and the rest will continue entering today, for which around 85 percent of the problem will be solved.
The CDEEE chief denied that the fuel shortage is from the lack of money and affirmed that the cause is that some of the supply tankers had been delayed.

LET"S GET OFF OUR BUTTS AND DO SOMETHING, (lalucha.com.do........don't know if its any good, but sure sounds OK to me)
Why would any country give the stupid bourgeois any role in the generation or distribution of electricity, one of the most strategic of industries?
"If you don't pay me, right now, 7.5 million US, I'm gonna cut yo lights off."
All that anybody gets from the bourgeois or over-glorified private sector is buck passing and excuses for recurring failures.
"Golly gee, we had a boiler failure and their tanker trucks moved too slow and the other one, over there, ran out of fuel." Oh me, oh mine.
Turn the plant over to the revolutionary proletariat. The workers know how to fix it.
Don't pay your light bill? Cut them off.
Then you will see the blackouts become the thing of the past.
Se choko el caro.
The Cuban exile explained to the policeman.
The car wrecked itself.
The implication is the machinery itself took on human characteristics to do something.
Would you want a Nuke plant in the D.R.? They can't even run a oil plant!
The investment is large, control totally out of anyone in the D.R. hands or even influence, and assured increased charges would result, holding the nation hostage, but with far larger debt to pay.
Did they ever pass the law to allow everyone to produce electricity and be paid or charged according to input and output?
Resorts and all businesses stood to invest in solar or wind to save huge money producing their own and selling the rest to the grid.
