The Baní Wind Project, as an alternative energy source, includes an IDB financing of US$30 million, and becomes the second major effort in that field, after Spanish investor began building a similar facility in nearby Azua province..

Are they going to turn off the wind when users don't pay their bills?

I doubt, and if so towns such as Bani are known for its well respected citizens, the majority pays there light bills. They deserve it.

AS with the electrical overhaul now under way, some carrots for doing the right things may serve to bring about the needed changes in DR. Incentive based good behavior and see if it holds. At least that appears to be the strategy being applied to the DR. I hope it works. The true test will come when the carrots end, and the institutionalized behavior patterns have to prove themselves by way of efficiency and competency. Ah, there's the rub. But so far I like the strategy for its Pavlovian conditioning.
