No more rotational brownouts in the Island Garden City of Samal (IGACOS) as all the modular generator sets of Northern Davao Electric Cooperative, Inc. and Mindoro Grid Corporation / IGACOS Light and Power Company (ILPC) are now operational starting June 5, 2023.
NORDECO, the power cooperative with franchise over the tourist island in Davao del Norte, in press statement said that it is no longer implementing rotational brownout/load curtailment in the Island Garden City of Samal (IGACOS) since the modular generators became operational.
These modular generator sets are enough to supply power distributed by NORDECO to IGACOS, said the power coop which had been hobbled previously by power supply due to generation problem.
NORDECO said it is working closely with the City Government of Samal to seek additional standby/reserve power supply to address the increasing load of IGACOS.
NORDECO said it is fully committed to ensuring a long-term strategy to provide a stable and sustainable power supply in IGACOS. We will continue to exhaust every means possible to transform the lives of the people of IGACOS and the Island in general.
