DAVAO CITY- The Davao Light and Power Company have assured the public of ample power supply during the Christmas holidays.
Art Milan, vice-president of DLPC said that the power situation has
normalized with increase water level in the Pulangi power plant which
is now producing 255 megawatts.
In a special press conference last week, Milan said that there is a
power supply shortfall of 43 megawatt brought about the low supply
coming from the Agus-Pulangi hydropower plant.
DLPC has contracted supply of 285 megawatts/day from the National Power Corporation.
Ross Luga, corporate communications officer of the DLPC said that
demand for power has lessened as electricity-intensive factories and
industries are not operating during the holidays. He says malls and
restaurants which are on full blast during the season do not have
intensive power requirements as those of the factories.
The average power demand during the holidays is only 320 megawatts.
Average daily power demand is about 343 megawatts. (PIA/ RG Alama)
