Santo Domingo sectors feel a week of rolling blackouts

Santo Domingo.- Since the start of the week the intensity of the blackouts has been felt in sectors of the capital as a result of rationing by the electricity distributors (Edes), according to its Service Demand Management and scheduled maintenance of some power plants.

The energy not served by demand management on Wednesday night was 25% of the distributors Edenorte; 33% of Edesur and 42% of Edeeste.
