Pres. Benigno S. Aquino III has instructed the energy department to solve the power crisis at the soonest time possible without sacrificing the future. | |||
Department of Energy (DOE) Secretary Jose Rene Almendras today said in press conference today in Davao City that the President has instructed him to focus on identifying and providing solutions to the Mindanao power crisis. | |||
The DOE chief stressed, however, that the President wants a solution that will not "jeopardize the future." | |||
“This means that the President want a long-term solution to the power crisis in Mindanao," Almendras said. | |||
Almendras added the solution to the prevailing power crisis must be felt not only at present but also in the future. “Thus, the president wants to have it solved without jeopardizing the future of Mindanao,” he added. | |||
The energy secretary said also said that the President will grace the Mindanao Energy Summit tomorrow, Friday at the Waterfront Insular Hotel in Davao City. | |||
Almendras said the President will preside over the summit where private and public stakeholders are expected to present the scenario of the power crisis, as well as to identify and solve the problem. | |||
Meanwhile, Almendras explained that the seven-day shutdown of Malampaya Plant which is scheduled in July will be implemented since the demand of electricity during rainy season (July-September) is low as compared to the summer season. This, according to Sec. Almendras, must be made for the maintenance of the plant. | |||
