The southern area of Davao Light and Power Company's franchise will be experiencing a 15-minute power interruption, from 8:00 AM to 8:15 AM, on May 17.
Ross Luga, Corporate Communications Officer, said that the scheduled service interruption is necessary to facilitate the National Grid Corporation of the Philippines' (NGCP) annual preventive maintenance servicing in one of its 2-150 MVA power transformers in its Davao Substation.
To keep the power interruptions within the least possible time, loads connected to the affected transformer will be transferred to the other 150-MVA transformer. Normalization or return of loads back to its normal set-up will be done after maintenance works will be completed.
Affected by this service interruption are the customers from Bankerohan Bridge going city south up to URC after Bago Bridge in Dumoy. This will include the whole areas of Matina, Maa, Ecoland, Bangkal, Catalunan Grande, Ulas, Puan and Dumoy.
Customers in Catalunan Pequeño, Mintal, Tugbok, Calinan, Baguio District and other nearby areas along Davao-Bukidnon Highway will similarly be experiencing the said power outage.
Also affected are some of Davao City Water District's pumping stations in the south.
Davao Light apologizes for the inconvenience of these scheduled power interruptions but it will exert all efforts to restore electric service as scheduled or earlier. However, there may be instances where restoration may extend beyond the schedule due to unavoidable circumstances.
The electric utility's Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) allows Davao Light to remotely control switches in the substations and along the distribution lines making it efficient in implementing maintenance works or restoration of power supply at its barest minimum during service interruptions.
