SI POWER restores capacity after maintenance

SI POWER Corp., the sole power generator in Siquijor province, has restored its guaranteed dependable capacity following recent maintenance issues.

Sipcor implemented corrective measures including repairs to one generation set and deploying two rental generating sets, increasing total capacity to 10,800 kilowatts.

The company supplies power to Prosielco, the provincial electric cooperative that distributes electricity in Siquijor.

Earlier this month, the provincial government declared a state of calamity due to ongoing power interruptions.

During his visit on June 11, President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. directed authorities to resolve the power outages within six months.

The Energy Regulatory Commission ordered Sipcor and other entities involved in the crisis to appear at a public hearing scheduled for July 3.
