A 12-hour power interruption is set in some areas of Bacolod City on Sunday, November 6, Ervin Stan Leo Ticar, Central Negros Electric Cooperative acting general manager, said Thursday, November 3.
The National Grid Corporation of the Philippines (NGCP) will shut down its Bacolod-Reclamation 69kV transmission line, affecting CENECO’s Asdes-Gonzaga and Reclamation substations from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. Sunday, he said.
The NGCP will shut down its Bacolod-Reclamation 69kV transmission line for preventive maintenance and checking of fault clearance systems, Ticar said.
CENECO will take advantage of this downtime by implementing simultaneous maintenance activities, he said.
The activities will include CENECO’s preventive maintenance of its 30MVA Gonzaga Substation and 20MVA Reclamation Substation, replacement of bare wires and rotten three-phase primary poles, and tree clearing activities, Ticar said.
