Through a statement, the general manager of EdeeastAndrés Portes, specified that the improvement in the situation has been possible due to the implementation of the immediate action plan.
He said that the plan included the transfer of cargo to the circuits of the Electricity Distribution Company of the South (Edesur Dominicana).
“We were able to transfer them, arriving around 2:00 this Tuesday morning at around 80% of the load of the entire affected area,” Portes explained, while explaining that it is the Gazcue area, Don Bosco, Independencia avenue, the hotels in the area of the boardwalk and the National Palace.

“The second phase continued with the lifting of the events and, immediately afterwards, we planned for today to start the removal of the rubble and prepare each of the bodies through which we are going to rehabilitate the facility,” he continued.
