Power restored to
Cotabato City and MAGELCO this morning
NGCP’s Sultan Kudarat
Substation – Cotabato City – Datu Saudi Ampatuan 69-KV line tripped on 22 January at 10:57PM because
of a burned transmission pole in Salimbao, Sultan Kudarat, Maguindanao. Initial
findings indicate sabotage.
Power to Cotabato
City was restored at 1:39AM and to MAGELCO areas at 7:14AM today, 23 January.
NGCP completed the necessary repairs at 1: 54PM today with the installation of
a modified lightweight tower.
NGCP is doing all it
can to ensure continued, uninterrupted power transmission services all over the
country.
However, power interruptions
caused by force majeure events like sabotage and tower bombings, are beyond our
control.
We are appealing to
the national government, the local government units, law enforcement agencies
like the PNP and the AFP, as well as to the local communities and their
leaders, to help us secure our transmission lines to prevent such power
interruptions.By: Bambie Capulong and Gemma Roda
