DOMINICA-ENERGY-Drought may result in higher electricity fees

Apr 10, 2013

ROSEAU, Dominica, CMC – The Dominica Electricity Company (DOMLEC) is hinting at the possibility of increasing fees to consumers blaming the ongoing drought that is hampering its ability to generate electricity at its hydro facility. DOMLEC general manager Collin Cower, speaking on the company’s radio programme “Power Talk” said late last year and early 2013, the island has experienced “the right type of rainfall” so as to allow for good production from its hydro electricity plant that helped to drive the cost of fuel surcharge down. But he said that from February, the drought has become even more intense and is now affecting the company’s ability to generate electricity at a cheap rate.
