Since November of last year, the electricity rate began to increase. a path of “adjustments” called by the authorities “sincerization”, a process contemplated in the signed national electricity pact and that in reality are increases that considerably raise the spending of families and that have the heads of households shouting.
Regarding the subject, the professor and director of the Institute of Energy ;a of the Autonomous University of Santo Domingo (UASD), José; Luis Moreno San Juan, stated that from the beginning the Institute has stated that the Superintendency of Electricity is not correctly applying the rate calculation.
that clients with less than 200 MW, who are the ones with the lowest incomes, the electricity rate has increased by more than 36%, of “totally abusive and inappropriate from the point of view of what was agreed upon. in the electricity pact”.
“We have reiterated that there is no using an appropriate reference rate, which should be the technical rate that is currently available. established in the pact how it is calculated”, Moreno San Juan explained to the Listín Diario and pointed out that They have suggested that there should be a median rate for simple low voltage that is different from the RD$11.27 that they initially calculated.

He maintains that from the beginning they have proposed that there should be a median rate for simple low voltage different from the RD$11.27 that they initially calculated and that it should be RD$8.30 per kilowatt hour and that the rate for those who consume less than 300 kv/h cannot be RD$11.27.
He emphasized that users who consume less than 300 MW should have a more considerate electricity rate. “Not only those that consume from 0 to 200 MW, because there is a lower middle class segment that consumes less than 300 MW that would be greatly affected without adjustments for fuels,” he specified. the UASD professor and expert.
Expansion plan
Moreno San Juan qualified The expansion plan applied by the current administration of the Government in terms of electricity is correct. which requires compliance and adequate programming.
“In fact, the plan they have goes until 2036, which is 15 years and for the energy transition they require much more (…) and what we pointed out to them is that they should make a greater coverage with renewable energy and moderate the expansion based on fossil fuels”, he explained. the expert.
He added that the country needs a long-term plan, of at least 15 years and after that 15 more years so that the country can adapt to the changes that in terms of energy You experience the world and you have to have discipline, leaving zero room for improvisation.
