SAN JOSE, Antique – The National Grid Corporation of the Philippines (NGCP) recently assured Antiqueños that there will be no scheduled power interruption this Christmas season.
“The NGCP line personnel and engineers will be working 24/7 so there will be no scheduled power shutdown during the holiday,” Michelle Viscera, corporate communications officer of the NGCP, said during the Antique Media Christmas Party here last week.
She added power in this province is transmitted by the NGCP from its line in Santa Barbara, Iloilo to San Jose de Buenavista where the Antique Electric Cooperative (Anteco) substation is located.
Anteco is the power distributor in the province.
Viscera also reminded consumers to use light-emitting diode Christmas lights to conserve power.
“Households should make sure that they have detached their appliances from their electric sockets,” she said.
Anteco general manager Luduvico Lim, meanwhile, requested private landowners to cooperate in the cutting of trees to ensure continuous power distribution to their households.
“As we could notice there is much vegetation along the road that is also a reason why we have power interruptions because of our line being affected by the fallen tree,” said Lim.(With a report from PNA/PN)
