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
