Isla Norte Energy Corporation , in partnership with Vivant Energy Corporation and Gigawatt Power Inc., has brought generators to the island to provide additional power to the Bantayan Electric Cooperative in the event of a shortfall in its power generation. In an advisory, BANELCO General Manager Lee Rivera was quoted as saying that the almost daily occurrence of outages that island residents had to endure is already tantamount to an emergency situation that needed to be addressed — the reason why they sought the help of INEC with the help of the Department of Energy.

“The 3 MW interim or emergency power supply will address the power supply shortage of our current power provider. We hope it will also allow them to properly fix and maintain their generating units, hopefully without resorting to power curtailment.”“It’s not the ultimate solution but it will greatly improve the power supply situation in Bantayan Island,” Rivera said.
