Zamboanga del Sur gets normal power supply back


Pagadian City, Zamboanga Del Sur – The rotational brownouts for Pagadian City and the entire province of Zamboanga del Sur were lifted on Friday, March 7, following return to normal operations of generation plants that supply the load needed by the Zamboanga del Sur Electric Cooperative-1 (Zamsureco-1).

"The electric cooperative is very much happy to inform the electric consuming public that the power load of 34 megawatts needed for Zamboanga del Sur were already available as of today after the normalization operations of power generation and National Grid Corporation of the Philippines," Liberal Cabatcha, information officer of Zamsureco-1, said.

Zamsurec-1 gets its supply from three sources: 5 mega watts from Mapalad Power Corp., 5 megawatts from Terma Marine Inc, and 24 megawatts from National Power Corp. (NPC), Cabatcha said.

Earlier, the electric cooperative announced that it had been losing P1 million daily because of three brownouts a day lasting a total of six hours.

The return to normal power generation, however, would not mean a return to normal rates, because the independent power producers charge higher rates, Cabatcha said.

Mapalad Power Corp. charges over P9 per kilowatt-hour and Terma Marine over P7 per kilowat-hour. compared to the NPC rate of only P2.96 per kilowatt-hour. - Jong Cadion
