The week has started with an increase in the duration of blackouts, which according to the distribution companies Edesur and EdeEste are being caused by a damaged substation. Edesur said that it continues to program outages in Santo Domingo's central residential areas, especially in middle and upper class neighborhoods, because the Haina and Itabo generating plants are out of service, as reported by Diario Libre. The distribution companies say that longer blackouts than usual are set to continue throughout the province of Santo Domingo due to the failure and low production of their power generators. EdeSur informed that Santo Domingo's upper and middle class neighborhoods, which usually receive 24 hours of power, would continue to experience blackouts throughout the week.
The Itabo-Haina facility is working with a 66.5% deficit, providing only 142 MW of the total 425 MW installed capacity. EdeEste says that damage to the Hainamosa substation that occurred on Sunday night caused three circuits that provide power to many neighborhoods in the area to go out of service. The fault is reportedly affecting 13,259 clients.
