Power restoration in Boracay almost complete: DOE
The Department of Energy (DoE) is leading efforts with the National Grid Corporation of the Philippines (NGCP) and Aklan Electric Cooperative (AKELCO) to restore power to Boracay after an unexpected outage.
An unplanned power outage occurred in Caticlan on Saturday, September 13, causing a disconnection of power lines to Boracay.
Underground cables near the Caticlan Airport arrival area were damaged by moisture and leakage, causing the tripping of the Nabas-Unidos 69kV line.
Energy Secretary Sharon S. Garin emphasized that restoring a reliable electricity supply is the top priority and that agencies are collaborating to resolve the issue.
Multiple teams from NGCP and AKELCO have been deployed, and a temporary 69kV bypass overhead line is being constructed.
Power restoration in Boracay is almost complete as of Monday afternoon, September 15.
Garin assured the public that despite temporary delays due to high tide, their teams are working diligently to finish the restoration.
