The National Electrification Administration offered Occidental Mindoro Electric Cooperative, Inc. (OMECO) an emergency loan amounting to PhP50 Million to avert blackouts in the province.

The said commitment of NEA is one of the identified short-term solutions to the power supply problem during the Occidental Mindoro Power Forum last Friday, 23 September 2022.

NEA Administrator Emmanuel P. Juaneza said that the PhP50 Million will be used for fuel procurement of Occidental Mindoro Consolidated Power Corp. (OMCPC), the lone power provider of OMECO.

The National Electrification Administration (NEA) reminded the electric cooperatives (ECs) nationwide to follow up on the status of their Tariff Glide Path (TGP) applications lodged before the Energy Regulatory Commission (ERC).

In its Regulatory Advisory No. 2022-07, NEA likewise directed the ECs to update the agency on the status of their respective rate adjustments, the provisional authority issued, non-application or pending application, or intention to file one, whichever is applicable. NEA Regulatory Affairs Office also requested the ECs a copy of the follow-up request to ERC.

Tariff Glide Path was formulated to allow all ECs to adjust their respective tariff rates in accordance with established principles, procedures and within the reglementary period set forth by the ERC, based on the Rules Setting the Electric Cooperatives' Wheeling Rates (RSEC-WR).

The National Electrification Administration (NEA) issued Institutional Advisory No. 45 urging all members of the Board of Directors, General Managers, officials and employees of the electric cooperatives (ECs) to undergo random drug testing. Within 15 days from the receipt hereof, ECs are directed to submit to NEA a list of all activities conducted to comply with the said advisory.

This is pursuant to NEA Advisory to all ECs dated 15 December 2016 and in compliance with Republic Act No. 9165, otherwise known as the Comprehensive Dangerous Drugs Act of 2002, specifically Article III, Section 36, Item (d), and Department of Labor (DOLE) Department Order No. 53-03, Series of 2003, Guidelines for the Implementation of a Drug-Free Workplace and Programs for the Private Sector.###
