Maybe it has something to do with the price of oil
With oil reaching a record $120 a barrel maybe they are economising on consumption?
The way the most electricity is produced in this country is by thirsty gas turbine generators and even some old smoky diesel plants like down in Puerto Plata.
I don't think that the EDE's have adjusted their tarrifs to include this price hike in fuel, so maybe it's their way of saving a few bucks.
Just speculation on my behalf but possibly using the recent weather episodes as a convenient excuse!
