eMail Enviado - Electricidad: Respuesta al Banco Mundial

Señores Banco Mundial
Ciudad.

Atención: Sr. Roby Senderowitsch
Representante en República Dominicana

Distinguidos señores,

En seguimiento a la nota Sent eMail: Power Sector Washington Meeting enviada “To the participants in the solution of the power sector systemic crisis,” damos seguimiento a las declaración del banco a la periodista Cándida Acosta, sobre la solución a la crisis sistémica del sector eléctrico.

Dichas declaraciones, que aparecen en la NOTA CENTRAL de la sección Economía y Negocios del Listín Diario, del 23 de Abril de 2009, están contenidas en el enlace de Internet Banco Mundial propone medidas ante crisis eléctrica. En la misma, el banco admite que “el tema es medular para el desarrollo del país y por tanto no es partidario de prescribir fórmulas mágicas porque tiene múltiples dimensiones.”

La crisis dominicana se ha profundizado en exceso, precisamente porque las medidas ejecutadas a la fecha siempre se han basado fórmulas mágicas. Un claro ejemplo de dichas fórmulas es la propia Ley 125-01, que no consideró que los sectores eléctricos del mundo necesitan acogerse a una reforma integral emergente en que el desarrollo de los recursos de la demanda es clave.

Para estos fines, sugiero estudiar la nota U.S. CONGRESS, the COMPETE Coalition and Comprehensive Energy Legislation, la cual da las razones que explican la urgente necesidad de cambiar la ley 125-01 para resolver de forma definitiva la crisis sistémica del sector eléctrico, al tiempo que posicionar al país entre los líderes en las reformas de los sectores eléctricos mundiales.

Espero que los que todos participen la próxima semana en Washington estén al tanto de este mensaje.

Sent eMail: Power Sector Washington Meeting

To the participants in the solution of the power sector systemic crisis:

This is my message to Washington. It is aimed to the USAID, the IDB and the WB. The last two multilateral financial institutions are already in the process to provide, once again, a definite solution to the systemic crisis of the power sector of the Dominican Republic.

I suggest that the experts at both banks need to understand that there is an emerging whole power industry that is not limited to the Dominican Republic. To convince them, I further suggest they answer to the best of their abilities the post A Question to the State Secretary at the Santo Domingo Digital Town Hall. I hope the USAID get involved by a decision of the State Department as this is a global issue.

In that light, the should consider a few quotes of Secretary Clinton posted in No new source, no new generation, but just use more efficiently what we currently have. The Electricity Without Price Controls framework includes a high leverage financial mechanism designed to integrate energy efficiency to power system planning, operation and control. Such mechanism is critical for the medium term solution of the local crisis here and at other jurisdictions with similar crisis.

The Dominican Republic has the great opportunity to be the first place in the world to complete its reform of the power industry with a fundamental, complete, and fully functional, solution to the global power sector in the new order. I have already envisioned a pilot project to show results.

Hoping that the solution does not center in the sustainability of the investments, but go beyond to ensure maximum social welfare, I remain at your call to collaborate in the substantive effort.

Best regards,
