Santo Domingo.- State-owned electric utility (CDEEE) CEO Ruben Jimenez Bichara said Friday that the electricity service will improve nationwide, because a major plant that was under repairs since January resumed operations yesterday.

"This means that the service begins to return to normal in the areas that were most affected. We had 300 megawatts offline," he said.

"The generation is maintained at a stable level."

Some recent blackouts stemmed from outages of the plants AES Andres (maintenance), Itabo 1 (boiler leak), and San Felipe (fuel), whose output plunged 180 MW to 74 MW late January.

Every word in your last posting is demonstrably false and yet a further example of baseless accusations that are the basis of most of your postings

"service begins to return to normal"...which is not an improvement at all. If normal is 6 hours a day (on and off and on and off) of electricity...then I do not consider that to be an improvement.

How could San Felipe Power Plant plung 180MW to 74MW when all it could generate is76MW

cap .Does DT proof reads what he writes? What he is telling the readers,that it generates 254MW

total caps and it didn't generate the diference because of lack of fuel. What a line of b/s when it is

a private co,not gvt dependacy. Tell it as it is.. no money from the gvt to subsidize electricity!!!

Yes, the energy is fantastic now. The hours without electricity were changing, but didn't get less. And there still is the surprize every day: Will the lighting bulbs tonight will shine like candles or like a ballroom illumination? I'm waiting that there is no "luz", so at least my computer can work without getting burned.

calvoleon;
At this rate you would have to get a lap top,that oprates on DC and recharges when AC comes back or risk the chance.

Thanks, but I have to use an equalizer - the third, because two were blown already, including the power supply of the computer. Thanks God not the hard disk.

It is always safer to use ckt bks (cicuit brakers) before supplying the computer or as a matter of fact any appliance and in DR a surge suppressor as well as ltg arrestors is recomended to avoid
spikes.
