Internally displaced families whom the government plans to relocate in temporary shelters as soon as crisis subsides in Marawi City may expect immediate electricity service, the National Electrification Administration (NEA) announced on Thursday (July 27).

Speaking at the weekly ‘Usaping Balita’ media forum in Quezon City, NEA Administrator Edgardo Masongsong said electrification workers from the Task Force Duterte Lanao Sur Power already set up a 1.8-kilometer electricity line in the strife-torn town since July 20.

NEA required Laneco to maintain the following: system loss at a single digit level, collection efficiency not lower than 95%, current status of payment with power providers such as the National Power Corporation or any other generating company and the National Transmission Corporation (TransCo)/National Grid Corporation of the Philippines (NGCP) and non-power cost within the approved cash operating budget level. The coop must also file an application for the rate adjustment with the Energy Regulatory Commission (ERC) in case of insufficient rate. Since release of the loan is on a five-year staggered basis, subsequent issuance is subject to submission/evaluation of progress accomplishment report on the previous one. Releases are subject to existing NEA policies and to other conditions as the NEA Board may impose in the future.
