DAVAO CITY, Jan. 15 (PIA) – The National Grid Corporation of the Philippines (NGCP) has issued a notice of scheduled four-hour shutdown of its transmission facilities in Davao del Sur province on Sunday (January 19).
The power outage will run wholeday ( 8:00 a.m to 5:00 p.m.) on said date affecting the municipalities of Bansalan, Matanao, Magsaysay and part of Digos City which were determined by the Davao del Sur Electric Cooperative, Inc. (DASURECO), the province’s distribution utility.
The cause of the power interruption is due to the correction of the decrease in gas pressure of Matanao-Bansalan 69kV T/L associated power circuit breaker (PCB), said NGCP’s Notice of Scheduled Power Interruption (NOSPI).
The NOSPI assured that normal operations will immediately resume after work completion.
NGCP customers and the general public are advised to take the necessary preparations and precautions for this scheduled interruption, the NOSPI further notified.
Meanwhile, DASURECO general manager Engr. Godofredo Guya said the power supply situation in Davao del Sur has normalized after the cooperative ventured into a 15-megawatt modular power plant in December last year.
Guya said DASURECO has entered into a power supply agreement (PSA) with Alsons Energy Development Corporation for the rental of diesel-fueled modular generator sets until 2016.
He said this has helped a lot in augmenting the power supply to sufficiently service the growing demand of the provinces of Davao del Sur and Davao Occidental covering 14 municipalities and one city. (PIA-11/Carina L. Cayon)
