The National Grid Corporation of the
Philippines (NGCP) has fully restored its power transmission facilities
in the Ilocos provinces, Abra, Benguet, and Mountain Province that were
earlier damaged by super-typhoon “Lawin”.
However, NGCP North Luzon public affairs
officer Lilibeth P. Gaydowen said their transmission facilities in the
Cagayan Valley provinces are not yet fully restored.
“The power transmission facilities in
the provinces of Nueva Vizcaya, Quirino, Ifugao, Isabela, Cagayan,
Kalinga, and Apayao are 87.57 percent restored,” she said.
“All 69 kV lines were energized, except for two line segments serving Kalinga and parts of Cagayan and Apayao,” she added.
She said the restoration activities in
the Cagayan Valley are still going on in which 74 out of 84 toppled, and
88 out of 101 leaning assorted poles (wood and steel) are already
restored.
“Most of the damaged structures are
located in difficult mountainous areas. However, our aviation team is
now working to help expedite the restoration,” she said.
“As far as NGCP facilities are
concerned, provinces still with no power are Kalinga and Apayao and some
parts of Cagayan. Other provinces already have 100 percent transmission
services,” she said.
