The power crisis in Occidental Mindoro is not due to the mismanagement of the supply by the Occidental Mindoro Electric Cooperative but by red tape on the part of the Energy Regulatory Commission and the National Power Corp. | JEMendozaINQ
“Such a statement is hurtful. Such an accusation is unfair to Omeco and NEA since the standard of management is under NEA’s supervision. They are in control of how they can gauge or grade an electric cooperative. So it is NEA who should determine if OMECO mismanaged the supply,” she added, speaking in Filipino.
Costibolo was reacting to House Resolution No. 34, authored by Occidental Mindoro Rep. Leody Tarriela. Costibolo apparently took the resolution as blaming Omeco for the power supply shortage of the province. According to Tarriela, Omeco had already contracted its capacity to deliver power but still failed to deliver. He then asked what happened between Omeco and Occidental Mindoro Consolidated Power Corp. .Several Occidental Mindoro towns began getting blackouts since the power supply agreement between Omeco and OMPC was stopped.
In response, the OMPC chief operating officer, Calvin Luther Genotiva, said that even if they have finalized a new agreement, it would not mean that the ERC could automatically give the go-signal to supply more megawatts to Omeco, compared to what is currently allowed.
