Both representatives of MSMEs as well as large enterprises agree that high electricity tariffs and the effect of outages are affecting companies financial situations.

Juan José Lagos, from Fundación Covelo, said that in the case of MSMEs the ENEE’s policies are having a double effect on the sector, with payments of up to 30.6% more for energy billed for fuel adjustments, and with scheduled and unscheduled blackouts.

Regarding the same subject a businessman from the maquila sector, Jesus Canahuati said, "I think the ENEE should make every effort to address this problem, but the private sector must contribute by investing in the construction of hydroelectric dams, wind farms and geothermal plants among other things. According to Canahuati, the ENEE stopped investing in the power distribution system and technical and non-technical losses amount to 28%", published Elheraldo.hn.
