The National Interconnected Electric System (SENI ) maintains a supply above 3,016 megawatts, behavior that the authorities promise to maintain with a generation of 400 megawatts that are already in the bidding phase.
Currently the service is stabilized after last week the exit of several generating plants occurred at once and that the SENI took out more than 800 megabytes, causing blackouts in different parts of the country. .
Yesterday mid-afternoon there were 2,7114.3 megawatts online from thermal power plants, which are those that use derivatives of fossil fuels.
The demand for energy is close to 3,200 megabytes in the Dominican population and to guarantee supply, a national energy plan is being worked on that will provide more energy. gradually about 2,000 mg over the next five years, he said. yesterday the executive vice president of the Electricity Distribution Companies and Secretary of the Unified Council of the Electricity Distribution Companies: Empresa Distribuidora de Electricidad del Este, S.A.
