“The reason why it took long , like in Iloilo City, was because there was only limited supply. That’s why even when the lines were already restored, but the load that we can throw to the lines was limited, we can only provide limited load,” Alcantara told the Inquirer.
“For example, in one area, they may require around 30 megawatts, but the load we could provide was only 5 MW to 10 MW … We would still need to provide [supply] to other customer areas around Panay to balance the load,” he added. Iloilo City Mayor Jerry Treñas, in a letter to NGCP officials on Tuesday, sought an explanation on the cause of the widespread power interruption.
“ said power interruption, absence of any advisory, brought inconvenience, not only to the Ilonggos in and outside their homes, but also affected the transactions in both public and private offices and businesses causing backlogs and missing deadlines on that day,” Treñas said.
