Santiago.- Routine maintenance will leave much of Santiago without energy on Friday, said the North Electricity Distributor (Edenorte) in a statement Wednesday morning.

The utility said technicians of the power lines company (ETED) will work on the 138 kilowatt cables from the substation at Canabacoa, from 9am to 4pm Friday.

Among the sectors which will be left without electric service in that period figure the Centro Español, the Cibao International Airport, Cascade Park, Hodelpa Marriot hotel, and La Colonia.

So that's what you call being BROKE in METROLANDIA "maintenance!"


PURPLE “Orwellian Speak” at its best!

I don't really understand how the grid is arranged in DR, and why power must be interrupted for such maintenance. Here in my US neck of the woods, near the Canadian tundra, equipment gets serviced all the time, by very competent people, without power interruptions.

Hopefully, the Cibao Airport and any affected hospital have backup generators for sustained, uninterrupted operation.

When will we emerge from the middle ages? I guess when we finally put the most competent people in the right places.

When everyone, EVERYONE pays for their electricity the problem will be resolved.

However, since the people in power have neither the desire nor the will to make t his change we will continue to live with the horrible service that we have today.


MAKE'EM PAY DAMNIT!!!

Who are they trying to fool? "Routine maintenance" does not involve shutting down most of the 2nd largest city in a country, for almost and entire week-day.
