Santo Domingo.- The energy sector’s authorities cringe at the term “financial blackout,” but the electricity distributors’ (Edes) crimped cash flow is evident in the output or lack thereof in nine of the system’s 19 plants, while the other 10 operate only partially.
Industry reports show that as many as four banks have shown interest in the US$500.0 million bond to pay the government’s debt with some power companies, but there’s no agreement yet on the nearly US$1.0 billion owed.
A report from the Electricity Superintendence (SIE) Energy Grid Agency (OC-SENI) issued Thursday afternoon confirms that the 4 plants at Haina, 2 in Puerto Plata, San Pedro PPRC 1 , CESPM 1, 2 and 3 and San Lorenzo 1 are off line.
It said Sultana del Este, Estrella del Mar, Itabo 1 and 2, La Vega, Palamara, Metaldom, San Felipe (northern Cibao), Rio San Juan and the INCA unit are partially operating.
The reports adds that sectors where collection rates are low will get more cuts or blackouts, including the northern districts of the capital, Santo Domingo West, Los Alcarrizos, Villa Mega and the cities of Azua, La Vega, San Francisco, Puerto Plata, Montecristi and Monte Plata.


Candel sales will be booming.

“The debt of 2 million 610 thousand 717 pesos, which the Superintendent of Insurance had, was liquidated via 13 monthly payments”
Euclides paid Edesur: says he was the victim of "defamation, slander and libel"
Now being called out for not pay an outrageous bill and threating the company reps. when they come to cut off service with your taxpayer paid security thugs is called "defamation, slander and libel!"
For that statement alone, if Santo Danilo had any guts, he would fire his Fat Corrupt Trujillista ASS!

“Euclides pagó a Edesur: Dice fue víctima de “difamación, calumnias e injurias”

This is a Gem:
“According to Gutierrez Felix, after having sued Edesur, he came to a verbal agreement to pay the debt, "but in view of the campaign of defamation, slander and libel" that he alleges was launched against him, he was required to formalize the payment by notarial deed agreement, which has been honored with the delivery of this last payment.”
This PURPLE Rectum is pissed because after not paying for years his “WORD” was not good enough and he had to sign a formal Promissory Contract of Payment.
Hey gmiller how is that for a “Mentality of Entitlement!?
Get your act together CDEEE, or tell the president you cannot do the job!
