The Dominican Transmission Electricity Company operates interconnected transmission and runs high-voltage electric transmission projects, while state-owned distribution companies serve three regions of the country.
Before 1997, the electricity market in the Dominican Repub-lic was regulated and state-owned. In 1997, the markets were reformed to allow private companies to participate in the generation and distribution of electricity.
Currently (December 2007), there is just one registered CDM project in the electricity sector in the Dominican Republic, the El Guanillo wind farm, with estimated emission reductions of 123,916 tCO 2 e per year. The World Bank is currently financing a Power Sector Technical Assistance Project.
The transmission system, which is under the full responsibility of the state-owned company ETED (Electricity Transmission Company), consists of 940 km of 138kV single-line circuit lines that radiate from Santo Domingo to the north, east, and west. In the Dominican Republic, there are three distribution companies.
In the Dominican Republic, there are three distribution companies. The government owns two of them, EdeNorte and EdeSur, through the CDEEE (50%) and the Fondo Patrimonial de las Empresas (FONPER).
