EGE-Haina wants to get paid

[NewsWhore]

The Haina generating facility, EGE-Haina, says that a delay in payments from the three power distributors (the EDEs) had led to a reduction in generating capacity due to low fuel levels. This situation explains the increased number of blackouts in Santo Domingo and the Cibao Valley in recent days. The situation was better yesterday as the Sultana del Este was back to full capacity together with the two Puerto Plata Electric Corporation units, which are also back on line after receiving fresh fuel supplies. There was also a delay in the arrival of a shipload of fuel due to Tropical Storm Ernesto's passage through the Caribbean.
