The Dominican Republic's authorities are closely monitoring the international situation to ensure energy security. Minister of Energy and Mines, Joel Santos, and Superintendent of Electricity, Andrés Astacio, held a meeting with major thermal generation companies to discuss potential impacts of the Middle East crisis on fuel supply.

Most companies confirmed they have sufficient coal and natural gas supply guarantees for the remainder of the year, contributing to national electrical system stability. The meeting also focused on fuel inventory levels and supply contracts, as well as response mechanisms to international market fluctuations. Authorities will maintain ongoing coordination with energy agents to uphold energy security.
