DOE to activate energy resiliency task force after Cebu quake
A Department of Energy (DOE) task force on energy resiliency is being activated to address power supply issues in Cebu following a 6.9 magnitude earthquake.
DOE Secretary Sharon Garin announced the task force's activation during her confirmation hearing with the Commission on Appointments (CA).
The task force is a standard procedure activated during disasters to coordinate efforts among various stakeholders including NGCP, NAPOCOR, TransCo, NEA, and oil companies.
The earthquake struck Bogo City, Cebu on Tuesday night, causing significant disruption.
The response will be similar to the one deployed in Masbate following Typhoon Opong, but on a smaller scale.
The task force, along with necessary equipment, is expected to arrive in Cebu by Thursday or Friday.
