Palawan Electric Cooperative is addressing its power outages following the approval of its capital expenditure program.

Paleco project supervisor and acting general manager Nelson Lalas said in his report to the National Electrification Administration he met with three power producers―DMCI Power Corp., Delta P Inc., and Palawan Power Generation Inc., as well as the National Power Corp.-Small Power Utility Group―to discuss reliable supply.“

We discussed problems about the dispatch and as regards the protocol. I also emphasized during that meeting that the power interruption is not only a problem of Paleco but theirs as well,” Lalas said.

Lalas conducted an initial assessment of the current power situation in Palawan. He attributed the frequent power outages to a number of factors, including failures in generation, transmission and distribution systems.
