Electricity in the Presidential Elections

This eMail was sent on September 17, 2007.

Dear writers and readers,

The opportunities for the Dominican Republic are for every political party to give its support to EWPC in order to become our most precious country mark. It does not matter what the building blocks of the scenario the party is promoting for the future, we should make sure that EWPC is one of its predetermined elements, to be discussed from now on in any strategic political conversation. The Very Short Electricity Law should be thrown on the wastebasket any time soon.

Below is what I posted in Energy Pulse and Energy Blogs that should gives us the confidence we need to solve the systemic electricity crisis of the Dominican Republic and reap a lot of opportunities under DR-CAFTA and the EPAs to help develop our country with Dominican multinationals.

In the post Great Opportunities Under New Energy Bills, you may find the following:

In the copyright protected link Extra, Extra… Goliath is Defeated Once Again!, you may find out how vertically integrated utilities will very soon start to be erased from the face of the earth. The US Congress, the European Commission, and legislative bodies all over the world, have the information they need to make the right decisions to transform the electric utilities to a very familiar business environment of wholesale, retail, customer value chain competition, under a very clear vision of the End-State of the electricity industry as provided by EWPC.

The state of Ohio and the Dominican Republic have the opportunity to be the first places in the world to implement the paradigm shift and introduce enough predictability to avoid throwing good money after bad, as EWPC signals the end of financial capital and the reintroduction of production capital to the power industry. A partnership between the state of Ohio and the Dominican Republic, which have a great export and job development potential under DR-CAFTA, can be negotiated.
