Studying the electric contracts

[NewsWhore]

In their session on Wednesday, the Congressional Joint Commission on Energy analyzed the legal mechanisms that will enable Congress to undertake a revision of the electricity contracts with the generators and energy distributors underwritten by the state. Senator Juan Orlando Mercedes Sena, the president of the Senate Energy Commission, said that the legislators would study everything related to energy sector regulation with the aim of finding a way out of the electricity contracts, especially in the context of the current spate of extended blackouts. He said that the commission planned to invite the vice-president of the Dominican Corporation of State-owned Electricity Enterprises (CDEEE) Radhames Segura to next Wednesday's session to explain and hand over copies of the contracts that the Dominican government has signed with the generators and distributors. According to El Nuevo Diario, the senator said that the commission would also invite Dominican and foreign businesspeople linked to the sector to hear their opinions on the contracts and then search for a solution to all these blackouts. Mercedes Sena pointed out that the National Energy Commission would also be invited to the hearings together with representatives of any other sector that feels that it can contribute to understanding the current situation.
