Edeeste clarifies cables and poles in Gazcue area do not belong to the electricity gridSanto Domingo – The company Distribuidora de Electricidad del Este (Edeeste) informed this Saturday that the cables and poles in the Gazcue area around the National Palace do not belong to its electrical network, but to telecommunications companies. It is recalled that last December 6, a skid hit two power poles in the area, temporarily affecting the service. Edeeste acted immediately and managed to restore power in the area in the shortest possible time. However, the elements indicated as cables and debris that still remain in the streets correspond exclusively to telecommunications infrastructure, not to the operations of our company. Likewise, the electricity distributor reiterates its commitment to guarantee an efficient and safe electric service for all users and calls on the responsible companies to take the necessary measures to clean up and relocate these elements.
