Bohol power firms work double-time to give hope to residents affected by Odette
The National Grid Corporation of the Philippines (NGCP) aims to restore power transmission lines in Bohol by December 31, despite extensive damage from Typhoon Odette.
NGCP is prioritizing the repair of damaged transmission systems between Tagbilaran and Ubay, specifically the Tagbilaran-President Carlos P. Garcia, Alicia to Ubay line, and the Tagbilaran-Polilya-Carmen-Ubay line, both with 69-kilovolt capacity.
Challenges in restoration efforts include blocked roads, fuel shortages, and the complexity of repairing high transmission towers connecting Bohol to the main grid via Leyte.
Bohol II Electric Cooperative, Inc. (BOHECO II) confirmed that the backbone of the Valencia to Alicia line in the 3rd district is ready to receive power from NGCP.
A task force is currently working on the transmission line from Alicia to Ubay, Talibon, Trinidad, and other interior areas.
