The executive vice president of the Public Electricity Corporation (CDEEE) Celso Marranzini says that the government's power consumption stands at RD$524.2 million a month, or RD$6.29 billion a year. He announced the government's plans to reduce the consumption with energy saving programs. Of the total, RD$380 million is for institutions to which the power service cannot be cut off regardless of whether they pay for the service.
Marranzini said that the President Leonel Fernandez has given a firm sign of the need for everyone to pay for the service when he ordered government institutions to pay their bills by Decree 185-11. The Decree instructed the Ministry of Hacienda to discount the payment for energy service of government institutions from the budgeted funds. Service to the government institutions had been covered by the government subsidy.
