The Civil and Commercial Chamber of the Court of the First Instance in the province of Santo Domingo ordered AES Andres to supply Ede-Este 300 megawatts of electricity in compliance with the contract that both parties signed on 6 March 2002. As a precaution and provisional measure, the court also said that AES Andres can not market this electricity to any other company than Ede-Este until the arbitration case is finished.

AES Andres has contracts with 50 non-regulated companies that are authored to purchase electricity directly from the generators. One of the most recent contracts was with Falconbridge Dominicana. As reported, Falconbridge has three 68 MW, oil-fired, generators, but it is cheaper for the company to purchase electricity from AES Andres. AES Andres produces energy by burning natural gas.
