Energy Situation

The energy sector in the Dominican Republic has traditionally been a challenge for the country’s economic growth. A prolonged electrical crisis and inefficient corrective measures have led to a vicious circle of habitual blackouts, high operating costs of distribution companies, large losses (including theft of electricity through illegal connections), high retail rates to cover these inefficiencies, ballot collection rates, a significant fiscal burden for the government through direct and indirect subsidies, and very high costs for consumers, since many depend on a very expensive self-generated alternative electricity
