Davao Light and Power Company customers in the southern part of its franchise will be experiencing a two 15-minute power interruptions, on July 12, Thursday, as requested by the National Grid Corporation of the Philippines (NGCP).
Corporate Communications Officer Ross Luga said that the service interruptions are necessary to facilitate repairs to be conducted by NGCP at their New Loon substation affecting the electric utility's Davao and Tagum lines.
To keep the power interruptions within the least possible time, loads connected to the said lines will be transferred to nearby substations which will take place from 5:00 a.m. to 5:15 a.m. Normalization or return of loads back to its normal set-up will be from 6:45 a.m. to 7:00 a.m. after repair works will be completed.
Customers who will be affected by this power interruption are those situated from UM Matina up to Ulas which include the entire areas of Matina, Maa, Ecoland, Bangkal and Catalunan Grande. This will also affect customers from Tugbok up to Calinan.
Although these scheduled power outages are beyond Davao Light's control, it expresses its apology to its customers for the inconvenience that they will experience.
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.
