The National Traders and Business Federation (Fenacerd) is suggesting that the authorities should establish and prioritize public policies aimed at strengthening the national energy system. They maintain that the current situation is stunting the DR's commercial and industrial development. The proposal was made in a speech delivered by Fenacerd president Ricardo Rosario during the opening ceremony of the First Seminar on "The Impact of the Energy Sector Problems on Traders and Businesspeople: the Key to Efficient Consumption".
The seminar was co-sponsored by the Dominican Corporation of State-owned Electricity Enterprises (CDEEE) and the new executive vice-president of the CDEEE, Celso Marranzini, was widely praised for his open-door policy and for listening to all the proposals.
While the Federation has kept up a string of criticisms about the "prolonged, continual and tedious blackouts", Rosario said that the new strategic alliance with the CDEEE confirms the Federation's commitment to the nation's progress and to the search for solutions to the issues involved.
As part of the proposed solution, Hector Santana and Manrique Donastorg presented a guide to energy savings and efficient consumption in coordination with the CDEEE.
