Dominican Republic electrical utilities announce grid maintenance and modernization

The Dominican Republic's electrical infrastructure is undergoing significant maintenance and modernization efforts. The Empresa de Transmisión Eléctrica Dominicana (ETED) has scheduled preventive maintenance and structure replacements on several transmission lines between September 1 and September 4. These works will cause temporary power interruptions in various communities, including Monte Plata, Sánchez Ramírez, Duarte, Independencia, and Bahoruco provinces.

Separately, the Empresa Distribuidora de Electricidad del Este (EDEESTE) has launched a RD$843 million project to modernize electrical networks in the Capotillo circuits 9 and 11 within the Distrito Nacional. Expected to run until December 2027, the 16-month project aims to normalize service for over 18,000 users through the installation of new poles, transformers, and lighting.

Additionally, EDEESTE recently completed an intervention at the Quisqueya substation, installing a new 5 MVA transformer that increased capacity by 40 percent, benefiting approximately 4,544 families in the area.
