The southern grid lost 36.2% of the electricity it bought in July 2026, the distributor's data shows
EDESUR's open data reports 704 GWh of energy bought for its network and 254.9 GWh lost across 6 southern zones in July 2026, leaving 449.1 GWh billed. Losses therefore equalled 36.2% of the energy the distributor put into the network, the measure EDESUR and the energy ministry use. The ministry's twelve-month rolling rate for EDESUR stood at 32.0% to June 2026.

The southern grid lost 36.2% of the electricity it bought in July 2026, the distributor's data shows
NULLPEN. Synthetic narration. Report published 2026-09-03. Infrastructure & Mobility. South Watchlist. Evidence state: correction. Data period: 2026-07. The southern grid lost 36.2% of the electricity it bought in July 2026, the distributor's data shows. EDESUR's open data reports 704 GWh of energy bought for its network and 254.9 GWh lost across 6 southern zones in July 2026, leaving 449.1 GWh billed. Losses therefore equalled 36.2% of the energy the distributor put into the network, the measure EDESUR and the energy ministry use. The ministry's twelve-month rolling rate for EDESUR stood at 32.0% to June 2026. Correction: Correction, 6 September 2026: an earlier version of this report said the southern grid lost 26.6% of the electricity it handled in July 2026. That figure divided losses by purchased energy plus losses. Under the measure EDESUR and the Ministry of Energy and Mines use, losses as a share of the energy the distributor buys, the rate was 36.2%. The zone chart has been redrawn: Barahona 60.6%, Bani 50.6%, San Cristobal 47.6%, Santo Domingo 45.8%, San Juan 26.2%, Distrito 15.8%. The GWh figures were correct; 'delivered' meant energy bought for the network. What remains unknown: The split between technical losses and theft, which the dataset does not break out. The ministry's figure for July 2026, which had not been published when this correction was made. How the month compares once demand is accounted for. Sources: EDESUR Dominicana.
