AES-Andres back on line

[NewsWhore]

The shaky Dominican electricity network got back one of the biggest suppliers as AES-Andres, the 300 MW natural gas generating facility, came back on line having been shut down when Hurricane Dean went past the Dominican Republic. Unfortunately, the AES Group also reported that Dean caused some damage to the gas terminal, but the company has enough Liquid Natural Gas (LNG) in reserve to stay in operation until the buoy is fixed in September.

AES said that its contingency plans for such natural disasters were being executed and that repairs were progressing at a satisfactory rate.
