BiggerMarranzini unveils plan to revive Dominican electrical system
Santo Domingo.- Celso Marranzini, President of the Unified Council of Electricity Distribution Companies (EDE), has introduced a comprehensive modernization plan for the Dominican Republic’s electric distribution sector, encompassing Edesur, Edenorte, and Edeeste. Speaking at the American Chamber of Commerce of the Dominican Republic (AMCHAMDR), Marranzini detailed a strategy aimed at reducing technical and commercial losses, upgrading infrastructure, and ensuring transparent management, supported by the Electric Cabinet and President Luis Abinader.
The plan includes a significant financial investment of over $650 million, sourced from multilateral organizations, to modernize networks and expand telemetering infrastructure. It also envisions a major reduction in the EDE deficit by 2027, enhancing service quality and customer engagement. Key aspects of the strategy involve adopting new technologies, rehabilitating networks, and installing prepaid meters to combat electricity fraud, alongside legislative measures to protect EDEs from criminal interference.
Marranzini called for unified efforts from all sectors to build a more reliable and sustainable energy future for the Dominican Republic.
This is the usual empty political rhetoric over fixing the faults of the Dominican electric generation and distribution system. The public has suffered it and the lack of electric power years on end. Action to fix the issue is the desired substitute for speechmaking. Action, the road less traveled, is a rare commodity in the RD. Speeches are easy routes.
