ROSEAU, Dominica- May 8, 2025: The Independent Regulatory Commission (IRC) will present a modernized electricity rate structure for Dominica Electricity Services Ltd. (DOMLEC), at a Stakeholders’ Forum scheduled for Tuesday, May 13, 2025.
The forum will inform stakeholders about:
This event is being held ahead of the completion of the ongoing rate review for DOMLEC, as the IRC seeks to provide stakeholders with the opportunity to offer valuable feedback.
A tariff or rate structure refers to the set of rules and charges that a utility company uses to determine the cost of providing electricity to its customers. As Dominica’s electricity regulator, the Commission views the modernization of DOMLEC’s rate structure as essential to respond to economic trends, align new rates with actual operational costs, and offer more options tailored to facilitate customers’ consumption patterns.
Later this year, the IRC and DOMLEC expect to consult with stakeholders on two additional tariff-related proposals, before finalizing the rate review: the Cost-of-Service Study and the Rate Proposal.
The IRC continues to encourage public and stakeholder participation and input, as this is a requirement for the undertaking.

It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using ‘Content here, content here’, making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for ‘lorem ipsum’ will uncover many web sites still in their infancy.
