Most of the blackouts suffered during Tropical Storm Noel were in the area served by power distributors EdeSur in the south and south west of the country. Damage to power lines and sub-stations was blamed for the outages. The damage has kept 59% of the EdeSur circuits out of service, according to CDEEE vice-president Radhames Segura. Segura told reporters from Diario Libre that EdeSur had 67 circuits in service and 95 out of service. EdeNorte was reported to have 23 of its 147 circuits out of service, and EdeEste had 34 or its 168 circuits out of service. Segura also explained that they had experienced difficulties reaching problem areas in Bani and the south west due to the road conditions. In Barahona there is a problem with a transformer and there are issues at the substation that feeds the Pizarrete-Bani line.
