The National Electrification Administration (NEA) reported on Monday that the initial estimated cost of damage to electric cooperative (EC) facilities attributed to the four major storms that hit the Philippines this month reached a combined total of P40,675,916.70.

The latest figure covers the trails of destruction left on the rural electrification sector by Typhoons ‘Marce’ (Yinxing), ‘Nika’ (Toraji), ‘Ofel’ (Usagi), and ‘Pepito’ (Man-Yi), which slammed into almost the same regions and provinces over the past few weeks since November 4.

Administrator Antonio Mariano Almeda of the National Electrification Administration (NEA) led on Sunday, 10 November 2024, the energization of Sitio Tabok in Barangay Peña, which is located in the Tinambacan district of Calbayog City, Samar.

The community received the benefits of electricity through the Sitio Energization Program (SEP) of the NEA facilitated by the Samar I Electric Cooperative, Inc. (SAMELCO I). The households were connected through power distribution lines operated and maintained by the co-op to the existing energy grid. 

The National Electrification Administration (NEA) and the Provincial Government of Northern Samar look forward to improved electricity rates and services for the member-consumer-owners (MCOs) of the Northern Samar Electric Cooperative, Inc. (NORSAMELCO) with its soon-to-rise 3.18-megawatt Mawo Hydroelectric Power Plant.

NEA Administrator Antonio Mariano Almeda joined Northern Samar Governor Edwin Ongchuan on Saturday, 09 November 2024, at the groundbreaking ceremony for the project. It will be constructed at Brgy. Happy Valley in San Isidro, Northern Samar.
