The business sector is skeptical about the success of a proposal for a new energy plan the InterAmerican Development Bank and the World Bank would present in two months time. The plan would recommend short-term solutions to the present decades-old energy crisis. The business groups say that for the plan to succeed what is first needed in government "is a change in attitude."
Yesterday, representatives of the InterAmerican Development Bank and the World Bank told the press that 2 years would be enough to resolve the energy crisis in the DR "if the authorities decide so."
Representatives from the National Hotel & Restaurant Association (Asonahores), Association of Herrera Industries (AEIH), the Federation of Associations of Industries (FAI), and the Association of Industries of the Dominican Republic (AIRD) say that enough diagnostical studies have been done and solutions proposed.
A previous proposal, submitted by the National Council of Business in 2008 was promoted as a potential starting ground for changes, but ignored by government. Manuel Cabrera, president of AEIH, says that the government needs to stop looking for answers and adhere to the Conep proposal. He said the government continues to revisit the issues that have been discussed ad nauseam.
