DAVAO CITY- Electric cooperatives in Mindanao are meeting today with the Department of Energy and the Mindanao Development Authority to come up with an immediate workable solution on the problem of power in this side of the country. | |||
A representative from the Department of Energy, members of the Association of Mindanao Rural Electric Cooperatives (AMRECO) and Mindanao Development Authority Chairperson Luwalhati Antonino will lay down issues and possible solutions that these sectors can apply with the ongoing power outages in Mindanao. | |||
Some areas in Mindanao suffer up to 8 hours of blackout everyday and the electric cooperatives here fear this would worsen in summer when the demand for power is high affecting businesses and even households. | |||
AMRECO members are asking the government to look into the situation of the two main sources of power in the region which are the Agus and the Pulangi hydroelectric plants. These plants reportedly are not operating in full capacity. | |||
Also, the electric cooperatives are asking for the government not to limit them from sourcing power from barges as per the agreement with the National Grid Corporation of the Philippines (NGCP). | |||
Meanwhile, the government announced yesterday that the DOE will soon issue an order mandating electric cooperatives to contract and purchase the necessary capacities within their respective areas. | |||
In a press release, Malacanang clarified that the government agency is ready to present solutions on this power problem after constant coordination and dialogue with the electric cooperatives and lawmakers in Mindanao. | |||
