Sipcor says Siquijor plant back to dependable capacity
Siquijor Island Power Corp. (Sipcor) has fully restored the island's power supply after addressing maintenance issues in its generation and distribution facilities.
Repairs were completed on one generator set, and two rental units were deployed, increasing the plant's total dependable capacity to 10,800 kilowatts.
The restoration ensures a 24-hour electricity supply to the province, meeting daily peak demand.
Sipcor has pledged to intensify technical operations and strengthen daily evaluations to ensure a steady and reliable power supply.
The provincial government of Siquijor had previously declared a state of calamity due to ongoing power interruptions.
President Ferdinand R. Marcos, Jr. visited a Sipcor plant on June 11 and directed authorities to permanently resolve the outages within six months.
The Energy Regulatory Commission will hold a public inquiry into the prolonged blackouts and has summoned Sipcor, Prosielco, and the National Power Corp. to a hearing on July 3.
