| DR: The easy way out for the CDEEE |
| By Dr1.com September 7, 2009 02:58:00 AM |
| | An editorial in today's Hoy calls on the government to resort to sustainable ways of improving the State-owned Electricity Company (CDEEE) revenue levels. It urges the new authorities to pursue those who do not pay for all they consume, government institutions that do not pay for the service, and those who do not pay because no one makes them pay.
"To resort to continue to increase the cost of electricity for those who already pay would be to continue to condemn paying consumers to finance the senselessness of the sector," comments the editorial. The newspaper criticizes the fact that these are the same people who carry the heavy burden of contracts that have only made it possible for certain power generating companies to derive profits from hard to understand inequities that can only be explained by a electricity sector that has been directed and maintained by Third World and politically-driven logic.
Diario Libre points out today that this month's Edesur electricity bills reflect an unannounced rate increase. Adriano Miguel Tejada, editor in chief of the newspaper, says that his power bill doubled this month, despite the increase in blackouts, as evidenced by the purchase of diesel for his building's back-up generator.
