Several areas across five provinces in the Philippines will experience power interruptions on Sunday, April 6, due to scheduled maintenance, according to advisories from the National Grid Corporation of the Philippines (NGCP) released on Thursday.
The affected areas are as follows:
-
Albay
Power outages will occur on April 6 from 6 a.m. to 8 a.m. and again from 5 p.m. to 6 p.m., affecting ALECO. This is due to the load shifting of ALINDECO and ALECO from the Tiwi C Substation to the Daraga Substation. -
Antique
Power interruptions will happen from 5 a.m. to 7 a.m. on April 6, impacting ANTECO (Culasi and Bugasong Substations) and VHPP SUWECO. The outage is due to load transfer and normalization work on the Nabas-Culasi 69kV line following preventive maintenance at the Nabas and Culasi substations. -
Quezon Province
On April 6, power will be cut from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. affecting QUEZELCO 1. This is related to general maintenance and corrective measures along the Pitogo-Mulanay 69 kV line. -
South Cotabato
Power disruptions will take place from 8 a.m. to 10 a.m. on April 6, affecting SOCOTECO II (Polomolok, Tupi, and Dole Philippines Substations). The interruption is due to the disconnection of loop jumper conductors at the Gensan-Poblacion Tupi 69kV line. -
Southern Leyte
Power outages will be in effect at different times on April 6:-
6 a.m. to 5 p.m. at Himay-angan Substation
