Posted by Mindanao Pagadian Frontline

PAGADIAN CITY, Zamboanga del Sur (Nov.18, 2014-MPF News) --- The business climate of Christmas in this city might be affected if the National Grid Corporation of the Philippine (NGCP) will continue with their 3-hour rotational brownout imposed in Pagadian City starting Monday, Business community Official said.

Zamboanga del Sur Electric Cooperative 1 (ZAMSURECO-1) Information Officer Liberal Cabatcha said the power curtailment imposed Monday was not formally announced by the NGCP Official, however they informed last month that they would be implementing power curtailment should there be power shortage especially this Christmas season.

Cabatcha said that yesterday Zamsureco-1 had 15-minute power outrage from 8:45-9.am., followed by a longer 3-hours from 1-3p.m. at the east portion of city comprising 10 barangays including the nearby town of Labangan and Tukuran and again at 6 to 9P.M. at the west portion of the city comprising 12 barangays including some municipalities of the second congressional district.


Up to this time NGCP has not explained neither why the rotation brownouts are occurring nor how long they will last, Cabatcha said.

Yesterday's power curtailment was the first after the power was restored into normal in September, Cabatcha added.

He said the peak load demand of Zamsureco-1 is 34 MW to enable the cooperative to supply electricity to its 69,857 member-consumers in one city and 24 of this province's 26 towns.  (By JONG CADION)
