The electricity distribution companies (EDEs) closed December 2025 with measurable progress in historically sensitive indicators of the Dominican electricity system: higher energy billed, reduction of monthly losses, and sustained growth in billing and collections. The details are contained in the EDE-December 2025 Indicators Summary, which provides preliminary results regarding the performance of the distributors. In the system's consolidated report, the energy billed increased by 3.3% year-on-year, rising from 990.4 GWh in December 2024 to 1,023.4 GWh in December 2025, while total monthly losses decreased from 38.1% to 37.2%. In parallel, total billing reached RD$10,693.3 million, a growth of 6.5%, and collections exceeded RD$10,832.9 million, confirming an improvement in the conversion of energy served into effective revenue. Performance by company shows progress at different rates. Edesur recorded one of the clearest improvements of the period, reducing its monthly losses from 31.0% to 28.8%, with an absolute drop of 14.6 GWh, accompanied by higher levels of energy billed and total billing. Edenorte, for its part, maintained monthly losses at levels close to 26.2%, with an increase in billed energy from 344.5 GWh to 359.2 GWh (+4.3%) and an increase in total billing from RD$3,499.2 million to RD$3,837.3 million (+9.7%). Collections also grew, from RD$3,810.9 million to RD$3,976.3 million, consolidating a trajectory of operational stability and strengthening of its commercial income.

In the case of Edeeste, the data reflects a clear improvement in commercial performance, although the main structural challenge of the system persists. During December, the company increased the energy billed by almost 5%, raised its total billing by 5.4% and increased collections by 3.9%, signs of a greater commercial management effort and recovery of income. However, Edeeste continues to exhibit the highest levels of losses: although it achieved a slight monthly reduction, the moving year loss indicator increased, confirming that the distributor continues to be the critical focus of policies to reduce losses and control electrical fraud,
For Celso Marranzini, president of the Unified Council of Electricity Distribution Companies, the end of 2025 leaves an unequivocal signal: the results begin to align when operational discipline is maintained.

"These results reflect that, when management control, commercial discipline, and sustained technical decisions are combined, the system responds. We are not talking about miracles, but about progress, real investments, and a committed technical staff, which must be consolidated month by month," said Marranzini. He reaffirmed that the trend is positive and that it is possible to move towards a more efficient and sustainable system, as long as managerial efforts are maintained, investments in networks and technology are sustained, and citizen co-responsibility in the timely payment of the service and the legal use of energy is strengthened.
