BACOLOD CITY – The Negros Electric Power Corp. restored power to more than 40,000 consumers here on Monday, August 26, five days after a series of power outages triggered by the shutdown of the Alijis substation on Wednesday, August 21.
With this development, the NEPC said that there will be no rotational brownouts due to enough power supply. The NEPC is tying up with nearby substations to distribute power to the remaining feeders of the Alijis substation pending the installation of the new 18 MVA power transformer to replace a 13-year-old transformer damaged due to gas leaks and age.Castro said the combined capacity of the 10MVA mobile substation and the newly purchased 18MVA transformer are sufficient to supply the seven feeders while the balance can be distributed to nearby substations.
“I know this is not enough explanation and the consumers will not be satisfied with this. But bear with us because we still have so much to do,” he added.
