The National Electrification Administration (NEA) and Philippine Rural Electric Cooperatives Association, Inc. (Philreca) activated Task Force Kapatid (TFK) over the weekend to aid in the rehabilitation efforts of calamity-hit Batanes Electric Cooperative, Inc. (BATANELCO).

At least 17 linemen and two engineers from the NEA Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Department (DRRMD) were deployed Saturday morning, 05 October 2024, to support the workers of BATANELCO, who are dealing with the effects of Super Typhoon ‘Julian.’

The National Electrification Administration (NEA) has released its guiding principles for electric cooperative (EC) officials and employees, who are planning to pursue political careers in the 2025 National and Local Elections (NLE) as well as the first Bangsamoro parliamentary polls.

In a memorandum dated 19 September 2024, NEA Administrator Antonio Mariano Almeda reminded potential candidates of the rules prescribed by the Commission on Elections (Comelec) pursuant to the provisions stated under Republic Act (RA) 10531 or the NEA Reform Act of 2013.
