The Superintendent of Electricity (SIE) authorized five new direct electricity customers yesterday. This will allow the businesses to negotiate directly with the generators for their electricity without going through the distributors (Edes). El Nuevo Diario says that the five are Falconbridge Dominicana, the mining company in Bonao, which, curiously, has its own generation plants for the ovens but purchases energy for other operations. Falconbridge was authorized to purchase as much as 6.1 megawatts. Ochoa Hardware in Las Charcas where it operates a cinderblock factory, Almacenes Frigorificos Dominicanos in Constanza, where they operate 41 refrigerator units for storage, Molinos del Valle, the flourmill and pasta producer and Dominicana Industrial, a branch of Bocel Group that manufactures Princess brand pastas also received the authorization. A total of 79 industries can now source their electricity directly from the generators at the best prices.
