SAN FERNANDO CITY, La
Union -- An 11-hour power outage hit the provinces of La Union and Pangasinan
on Friday due to scheduled maintenance work of the National Grid Corporation of
the Philippines (NGCP).
Lilibeth Gaydowen, NGCP's
North Luzon corporate communication officer, said power outage in the two
provinces was from 6 a.m. and 5 p.m.
Gaydowen said the
shutdown of lines supplying power to the La Union Electric Cooperative's
Aringay, Damortis and Alacan substations is part of the NGCP's annual
preventive maintenance of selected hardware along the Bauang-AGoo-Tiblong
69-kilovolt transmission line.
Gaydowen said the
NGCP, the country’s sole power transmission service provider and system
operator, continues to strengthen the transmission network with its regular
maintenance activities done in close coordination with the electric
cooperatives.
