The CEO of the CDEEE, Celso Marranzini.
Santo Domingo.-The State-owned Power Companies (CDEEE) on Thursday said there will be no blackouts on December 24, 25 and 31, and on January 1 as well, a pledged it said will mean an additional cost of around RD$74.7 million (US$2.0 million).
In a statement the CDEEE guaranteed no blackouts in those days, “except for unforeseen developments that can arise in an electrical system with vulnerabilities in the distribution, transmission and generation areas.”
It adds that Dominicans will celebrate their Christmas festivities with enough electricity supply, despite the “financial sacrifice” that implies for the company. “The electricity distributing companies and the Government make efforts to buy this additional energy from the generators knowing full well that it will have no economic return and a social benefit instead.”

ok if they can promise a 4 day continues supply yet during the rest of the year the services is unreliable doesnt that mean that they purposely hold back the service to the consumers when the service is interrupted? and they get away with it amazing

When you starve your people all year long then provide them CRAP to eat over a 4 day period (fiesta), the pueblo will think you are wonderful (and will love you). Amazing, isn't it ! Keep the people stupid and throw them a bone from time to time and you will have them eating from the palm of your hand...
Feliz Navidad everyone. Be safe.

In areas where we pay for our electricity why do we not have every day without interruptions? We pay a lot of money for electricity and get horrible service.There is a big room for improvement in this area if we ever want to compete with other countries for foreign investments. I still don't understand how we cannot keep paying customers with 24/7 electricity. Must be another way for corrupt officials to line their pockets. I understand subsidized electricity for those who cannot afford it. There are still many people who steal electricity typically from their neighbors who in turn have to pay for it but I don't see many outright stealing electricity without the help of rigged meters or some other help from corrupt employees or officials.

Danny, I am certain you treat your dog better than CDEEE/EDEs treat their customers ! One day I will look you up in KW, as I am just up the road from you. I'll wait till it gets a bit warmer though, these last few days have been cold for us in Los Cayos.

This is a joke! It's as if they are giving a Xmas present of 4 days with power! On the other hand, if everybody paid for the electricity used, maybe the situation wouldn't be what it is.

Not bad considering how much its costing Leo to give out all of those baskets of fruit cake sobornos from last years office party to the destitute in the slums of Santo D., and in comparison
to my tacaño bosses here in Miami who are only giving us a 35 dollar gift card to publix super market coupled with a catered in barbacue sandwhich lunch for xmas , the Dominicans seem to have done pretty well this year lol . Bah humbug !

Please help me people because math is not my strength , but if its going to cost them about 2 million for 4 days of uninterupted power , does that mean they would be spending about 4 million a week for the same . NOW TIMES THAT BY 52 and that means they would be spending about 258 million annually to keep the lights on all day all year while they continue to pull the wool over the peoples eyes ?
Wow Ric , if im not mistaken , 258 million for 24 hours of power each year seems like an awfully small amount to spend in a country thats experiencing unprecedented economic growth rates of 7.8 % ???

Decentralized power systems can be placed in and around the cities and in various locations throughout the rest of the country. The fuel can be a variety of biomass including clean household trash, non-recyclable cardboard, paper, wood waste, tree trimmings, agriculture residue and others.
These renewable and environmentally responsible energy plants could occupy small sites innocuously and substitute for or supplement the grid.
