Big business asks opposition party to rejoin electricity pact talks

Santo Domingo.- National Business Council (Conep) executivevice president Rafael Paz on Sunday said it’s crucial that the talks seeking tohammer out the National Electricity Pact continue, and called on the majoropposition party (PRM) to rejoin the discussions.

He said the business sector’s proposal for the Pact was theresult of two months of intense work, noting that the Conep brings together notonly the power companies, but also much of the consumer companies since it directlyleads to higher costs, affected by their light bill.

"If we could sit and put special interests aside andgenerate a comprehensive proposal, we feel that this is the country’s bestopportunity to achieve real solutions to the energy problem," Paz said.
