Comptroller report weak control of the grid

September 19th,2014

The Comptroller General of the Republic (CGR) reported weak controls in the National Electrical Distribution System, which can increase prices for service fees.

According to the comptroller, this happens because the companies that provide the service can not control where energy losses are generated in the network.

One criticism is that the Costa Rican Electricity Institute (ICE) and Public Service Company of Heredia (ESPH) do not have the data to identify whether the operation time in each processor in the network is less than or equal to 25, while determining its service life.

In addition, the National Power and Light Company (CNFL) has only the record year of manufacture 2,150 of 27,993 transformers installed on your network.

The Nation called the three operators, but at press time, only spokesmen ESPH got a response to the report of the CGR.

According to Francisco Angulo, spokesman ESPH, this company will clarify the comptroller yes takes a process of linking assets, ie that there exists a localized accounting control transformers. He added that they are looking to improve this point.
