ZAMBOANGA CITY, Jan. 26 (PNA) -- The National Grid Corporation of the Philippines (NGCP) has scheduled a nine-hour preventive maintenance power shutdown on Wednesday in areas served by the Zamboanga del Sur Electric Cooperative-2 (Zamsureco-2).

Elizabeth Ladaga, NGCP corporate communications officer, said on Tuesday that the maintenance shutdown is from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Wednesday.

Ladaga said the maintenance shutdown is to facilitate the commissioning of fault locator and installation of check meter at R.T. Lim Line Breaker, which requires the shutdown of Ipil-Sirawai 69-kilovolt line.

“The specific affected areas (by the shutdown) are to be determined by the electric cooperative (Zamsureco-2),” she stated in her social media account.

Zamsureco-2 serves the entire province of Zamboanga Sibugay, which consist of 16 towns, and parts of Zamboanga del Norte province, such as the municipalities of Sibuco, Sirawai, Siocon and Baligian.

She said the NGCP will exert all efforts to restore the line as scheduled or even earlier.
