NGCP completes Leyte power reconnection to Cebu: RDC-7
The National Grid Corporation of the Philippines (NGCP) has completed the reconnection of power supply from Leyte to Cebu, four days after Typhoon Odette caused widespread devastation.
This completed reconnection allows for power transmission to Cebu's power distributors, though the challenge now lies in restoring damaged electric poles, lines, and equipment to fully energize the province.
Reinforcement teams from Manila Electric Company (Meralco), Cagayan Electric Power and Light Co., Cotabato Light Co., and Subic Enerzone are augmenting the Visayan Electric Company (VECO) teams to reenergize more areas before Christmas Day.
As of Wednesday, VECO has restored 93 out of 544 power line segments, providing 25-megawatt of power daily to 4,911 sites in Cebu.
The Metro Cebu Water District aims to restore water supply for the Banilad-Talamban areas, following the energization of nearby well fields.
