While the province is under a state of calamity , P10 million will be allocated for fuel for generators in public hospitals for the continuation of operations and medical services to those who are sick.
The Occidental Mindoro Electric Cooperative has been implementing a power rotation system, with a given area only receiving about three to four hours of electricity per day, after getting only 12 megawatts from its lone power supplier, the Occidental Mindoro Consolidated Power Corp. , which is less than half of the province’s 30-MW power demand.
“That’s good news, but three weeks appears to be long,” said Vice Gov. Diana Credo Apigo in an emailed reply to the Inquirer on Monday.Apigo said the NEA could instead tap the available capacity of a private power plant on the island while waiting for the arrival of the generator sets being purchased by the agency from Singapore.
