During his weekly press conference, President José Raúl Mulino issued a warning to the energy distribution company Naturgy.  “I think we are all victims of Naturgy here.  On Saturday, a compressor and an air conditioner broke down on my property,” said Mulino on Thursday, August 8, from the Palacio de las Garzas.  This complaint from Mulino has been recurring over the past month and reflects the dissatisfaction expressed by hundreds of people on social media every time they experience power outages or fluctuations that damage their appliances. Mulino revealed that, starting this Thursday, August 8, the president of the regional board of directors of Naturgy will visit the country and meet with the National Secretary of Energy, Juan Manuel Urriola, and with Zelmar Rodríguez, administrator of the National Authority of Public Services (ASEP).  “And my only message is to tell them that I am serious. I am serious about going after Naturgy if it does not correct itself. And to make it clear that all options are on the table,” Mulino said.  On July 30, ASEP imposed a fine of 7.3 million dollars to the electric company Elektra Noreste, SA (ENSA) due to deficiencies in the quality of service provision. In addition, a fine of 14 million dollars was imposed on the Metro-Oeste Electric Distribution Company, SA (EDEMET) and the Chiriquí Electric Distribution Company, SA (EDECHI), both part of the Naturgy group, for failing to comply with service quality standards in the area of ​​electricity. According to statements by the ASEP administrator, these penalties should not increase or affect the electricity rates of users.  Starting with the July billing, Naturgy customers will see a credit in their favor, while in the case of ENSA it will be applied to consumption between August and September.
