The remaining affected 138kV line in Leyte and two (2) 138kV lines in Cebu are targeted to be restored by 22 December. One 138kV line in Bohol is also targeted to be restored on 31 December. Transmission services in areas serviced by VECO, MECO, and CEBECO II are already restored.
The Paranas-Borongan-Quinapondan and Sta. Rita-Quinapondan 69kV lines servicing the ESAMELCO franchise area were restored on 20 December, bringing back power transmission services in the province.
One (1) 230kV Line and fifteen (15) 138kV Lines are de-energized. These lines are ready for energization as soon as power generators are ready to transmit, and distribution utilities are ready to receive power.
NGCP has fully restored transmission services to the provinces of Capiz, Antique, Iloilo, Biliran, Camiguin, Misamis Oriental, Misamis Occidental, Lanao del Norte, Zamboanga del Sur, Davao Oriental, Agusan del Norte, and Agusan del Sur.
NGCP has augmented its work force – deploying a total of 92 line gangs, or 736 personnel, working 24/7 when weather and safety conditions permit to expedite post-Typhoon Odette restoration works.
Please note that this schedule refers only to transmission services, and not to distribution services or generating capacity. For complete restoration of power, all distribution and transmission facilities and sufficient generating capacity must be available. We defer to the Department of Energy and/or the National Electrification Authority for information on distribution and generation restoration. (NGCP)
