From 1100H to 1900H on 9 May 2022, 56 of the 105 Electric Cooperatives (ECs) with submitted reports experienced minor power interruptions. A total of 131 interruptions were recorded with an average duration of 50 minutes.

The power supply in some areas of CASURECO I and DANECO from the previous report were already restored. Upon restoration, the ECs have also identified the previously unknown causes of power interruptions. These include tripping of power lines, damaged transformers, busted fuse, power supplier issues, vegetation, and other natural obstructions.

PELCO II, LEYECO IV and COTELCO-PPALMA have on-going restoration activities as of this report. The status is being followed-up and will be reported at 0400H on 10 May 2022 or earlier, once the power is restored.

The NEA advised the ECs to immediately report any incident of power interruption and enact prompt restoration to ensure the efficient counting of votes until the winners are declared.

Pursuant to COMELEC Resolution No. 10743 dated 16 December 2021, the ECs, along with the NEA Power Task Force Elections 2022, shall continue to provide and maintain stable and continuous nationwide electric power requirements from the start of voting, until the termination or conclusion of the canvassing of votes and the proclamation of the winning candidates.
