ETED optimizes lines and substations for cyclonic season

Santo Domingo – Given the beginning of this year’s cyclonic season, which is expected to be the most intense in recent decades, the Dominican Electricity Transmission Company (ETED) announced that it is optimizing and strengthening its electric infrastructures to face the instability arising from meteorological effects and guarantee the stability of the electric service.

To this end, the company constantly monitors lines and autotransformers, especially those of the 138 kV ring, given that the season is forecast to be more active than usual.

This is why, as part of these preventive actions, included in the contingency plan for the cyclonic season that ETED has kept active since the occurrence of heavy rains during the off-season, preventive maintenance is being carried out, consisting of tree pruning, cleaning of substations, maintenance of lines and substations that feed the circuits throughout the national territory, to guarantee the permanence and stability of the service.

In addition, ETED will have brigades stationed at strategic points in the country to respond immediately to any incident or damage.

At the Energy Control Center, ETED will have additional operators as a preventive security measure and immediate response.

ETED calls on the population to keep informed with official agencies and to maintain prudence at all times.
