Power firm invests P1.5B to modernize
After it obtained a franchise from Congress, a power firm poured in P1.5 billion for projects that will ensure efficient electric service in Iloilo City. This was what MORE Electric and Power Corp., the distribution utility in Iloilo City, has done to address the electricity shortage and high electricity bill in Iloilo City within three years. The move of the power firm got the attention of Senator Grace Poe during the continuation of the joint investigation of the Senate Committee on Energy and Committee on Public Services in relation to the frequent brownout in different parts of the country. She expressed the belief, during a recent proceeding, that the entry of private players like MORE Power is the key to improving the power services and preventing frequent brownouts. In 2020, the power firm started its operation and within three years, its five-year development plan was almost completed. Modernization gets priority According to MORE power president and chief executive officer Roel Castro, since the company took over the power supply in Iloilo City from Panay Electric Company, it has invested P1.5 billion dedicated to the modernization of the power distribution facilities. The investment led to the replacement of old and dilapidated electric meters and wooden electric poles and upgraded the transformers, rehabilitated substations, and constructed of new transmission and switching stations. As a result of modernization, power interruptions have been reduced by 90 percent, overloading and illegal connections have been avoided which has resulted in a decrease in system loss that is passed on to consumers, and the response time to consumer complaints has also been addressed immediately and the electricity bill was reduced. Due to the modernization of distribution facilities, the electricity bill in Iloilo City is one of the lowest in the entire country. Iloilo City Mayor Jerry Treñas also commended MORE Power for providing consumer-friendly services. The post Power firm invests P1.5B to modernize appeared first on Daily Tribune......»»
