The Altagracia. The Punta Cana-Macao Energy Consortium (CEPM) managed to restore more than 90% of its electricity service to the more than 50,000 customers that make up its concession area, in less than 36 hours.
This, after the devastating passage of Hurricane Fiona through the eastern part of the country. The company has reached 100% in the case of hotels and medium voltage customers, and continues to work tirelessly to reach 100% of residential customers in the next few hours.
In this way it covers the communities of Bávaro, Punta Cana, Macao, Uvero Alto and Miches. Its subsidiary in Bayahibe, CEB, has already reached 100% at a general level. “Thanks to CEPM and CEB’s state-of-the-art technology, based on smart networks, and their planning capacity, the most critical cases could be identified and prioritized,” the firm said in a note.
In just two days, the company managed to restore almost all the electricity service in the eastern part of the country, and it is expected to reach 100% in the next few hours.
