Santo Domingo.- In a detailed publication in Carlo described Marranzini's comments as “ill-informed” and warned that they reveal a worrying disconnect with technological advances.
Carlo argued, through his X account, that Marranzini's statements are not only incorrect but also misleading, emphasizing the technological benefits and successful international implementations of distributed solar energy systems.
The journalist highlighted the importance of these systems to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, improve energy efficiency and reduce dependence on fossil fuels. He noted that Marranzini's stance appears to favor a centralized energy model that benefits a select few, rather than supporting a more sustainable and equitable energy future for the Dominican Republic.
In his post, Carlo addressed the inaccuracies in Marranzini's statements, stating that distributed generation systems are designed to work in conjunction with the national grid and have been successfully implemented in countries such as Germany, Spain and Chile. He called on the Dominican Republic to adopt innovative energy solutions and modernize its electrical infrastructure to fully benefit from renewable energy sources.
User reactions about X
Reactions to Sergio Carlo's post in X were swift and varied, reflecting a broad spectrum of support for his stance on solar energy and distributed generation. Users from different backgrounds and perspectives weighed in, underscoring the importance of modern, sustainable energy solutions and criticizing resistance rooted in economic interests and outdated approaches.
United Duartianos Movement (@DuartianoUnido) He praised Carlo's analysis for uncovering the economic motivations behind resistance to solar energy, comparing it to historical cases where economic interests hindered technological progress. They suggested internationalizing the debate, challenging the official narrative with technical data, and forming alliances to strengthen the movement toward energy democratization.
Samuel Abreu (@ingsamabreu) underlined the role of smart inverters in stabilizing solar energy systems, countering Marranzini's claims about service interruptions caused by solar energy.
Domingo Ant Grullón Rivas (@dogrullon) pointed out the vested interests of Marranzini and his associates in the energy sector, suggesting that their opposition to solar energy is self-serving.
Luisito Adon (@adon_luis) He criticized the management of the energy sector under Marranzini, linking current problems with power generation and disruptions to his leadership, and suggesting that privatization is presented as the only solution.
Ei Pipo (@ei_pipo) questioned the inconsistency between claims of the unreliability of solar energy and the simultaneous promotion of solar parks by energy producers.
RMG80 (@RamyGDL) commented on Marranzini's outdated methods, suggesting that his approach is not in line with modern energy solutions.
Rosinisd (@rosinisd) He advocated for a strategic plan for the Dominican Republic to achieve significant dependence on renewable energy sources such as solar, wind and marine.
Francisco (@Francis71305643) highlighted the financial benefits to the country of reducing fossil fuel consumption due to solar energy.
