Power supply back in Cebu City's 'lifeline' zones
Visayan Electric Company (VECO) has restored power to major lifeline areas in Cebu City, including hospital zones and water pumping stations, following Typhoon Odette.
Power supply for these critical areas is being sourced from the Cebu Private Power Corporation (CPPC).
VECO's energization efforts are prioritizing hospitals, Metro Cebu Water District pumping stations, and other vital institutions.
The Office of the Presidential Assistant for the Visayas (OPAV) is coordinating with the National Grid Corporation of the Philippines (NGCP) to power up a mothballed power plant of Aboitiz Power Corp. to increase supply.
This move follows an intervention by OPAV Secretary Michael Lloyd Dino for the Aboitiz plant to resume operations.
