Residents across multiple districts of Santo Domingo are set to experience temporary power disruptions this week as Edesur Dominicana proceeds with critical infrastructure upgrades. The electricity distributor has announced scheduled outages on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday affecting neighborhoods in the National District, Los Alcarrizos, and Santo Domingo Oeste regions.
The modernization initiative centers on two key substations: Arroyo Hondo and Alfa. At the Arroyo Hondo facility, technicians will install advanced distribution cells and enhance existing infrastructure to fully utilize the station’s 56 MVA capacity. This work necessitates power interruptions from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. on Tuesday, impacting Viejo Arroyo Hondo, Las Palmas, Los Jardines, and Los Pinos.
Concurrently, integration efforts at the new Alfa substation will involve comprehensive power line installation and pole positioning designed to reinforce electrical supply networks. These operations will trigger additional service suspensions on Wednesday (9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.) and Friday (9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.).
Affected communities encompass Tierra Llana, Villa Peravia, Villas Naco, La Ciénaga, Los Hidalgos, San Miguel de Manoguayabo, and Pueblo Nuevo. Numerous sectors within Los Alcarrizos—including Savica, Los Multifamiliares, El Chucho, Los Rieles, and Carmen Renata—will likewise experience temporary electricity cuts.
Edesur has extended apologies for any inconvenience caused, emphasizing that these essential improvements will significantly boost service reliability and address the region’s escalating energy demands. The company reaffirmed its commitment to delivering enhanced electrical infrastructure through these strategic modernization projects.
