Santo Domingo.- Edesur Dominicana has launched a strategic overhaul of its energy grid, unveiling a RD$155 million initiative geared toward increasing and optimizing electrical infrastructure throughout its service space. The plan focuses on intervening in ten key substations —from Paraíso and UASD 138 kV to Herrera and Bayona— and establishing new distribution traces to accommodate rising demand throughout peak intervals. Edesur expects to extend its operational buffer by over 30% in densely populated zones, guaranteeing dependable electrical energy when it’s wanted most.

A central objective of the venture is to slash technical losses within the community—at present estimated between 10% and 17% in focused circuits. The corporate is putting in extra transformers, creating new medium-voltage output traces, and boosting substation capability. One flagship improve features a 10–14 MVA transformer at Herrera’s operations middle, coupled with a brand new 40 MVA Alfa substation designed to redistribute roughly 25.9 MVA of load from confused nodes.

The enhancements will immediately profit an estimated 400,000 clients throughout round 70 communities in Santo Domingo and the Nationwide District. By strengthening distribution stability and minimizing the danger of extended outages through the coming summer season, Edesur goals to ship each enhanced service high quality and better public confidence in grid resilience.

This infrastructure push underscores a long-term imaginative and prescient: reworking a reactive upkeep mannequin right into a proactive funding technique. By prioritizing grid modernization now, Edesur is just not solely addressing fast reliability issues but in addition laying the inspiration for future development, a vital transfer for a rustic with increasing power wants and concrete improvement on the horizon.
