Stable power supply assured
on May 14 polls in SurSur
By Greg
Tataro, Jr.
TANDAG
CITY, Surigao del Sur, May 10 (PIA) -- The local power distribution utility in
Surigao del Sur has given their assurance that power supply will be stable particularly during the
Barangay and Sangguniang Kabataan Elections (BSKE) on May 14.
Aguinaldo
Jaluag, corporate planning division chief and spokesperson of Surigao del Sur
Electric Cooperative II (SURSECO II), said that their maintenance crew had
already got their job done by conducting clearing operations and other related
works to ensure that nothing would go wrong.
The
spokesperson-designate, who represents General Manager (GM) Engr. Iglorio
Hinayon in official functions and important meetings in certain cases, pointed
out that everything had already been taken care of.
Jaluag
even said that they have contingency plans to offer in extreme situations,
citing the use of King Energy Generation, Inc. (KEGI).
However,
it was explained that tapping the services of KEGI had certain “protocols” to
follow “upon declaration from” the National Grid Corporation of the Philippines
(NGCP) in case of grid power supply failure.
KEGI,
which SURSECO II had a contract with, could operate in “island mode,” Jaluag
stressed.
But
in such a setup, only part of their service area could be lighted naming Tandag
City, Tago and Cortes towns which get power supply via Tandag substation, he
explained further. (Radyo Pilipinas-Tandag/PIA-Surigao del Sur)
