As the Russian-Ukraine conflict continues to cause the upticking of price of petroleum products, the National Electrification Administration (NEA) enjoined all the Electric Cooperatives (ECs) to adopt a Fifteen-day Fuel Consumption Monitoring cycle for EC service vehicles and other operational equipment/vehicle such as boom truck and pole digger. The monitoring scheme will be used as a tool for the ECs to mitigate the impact of the incessant oil price increases and ensure sufficient budget allocation for their fuel consumption.

ECs are likewise directed to submit their respective courses of action to further cut fuel costs, for documentation and benchmarking purposes of other ECs on prudent fuel consumption.

This is relative to EC Advisory regarding the Observance of Cost Reduction/Austerity Measures on Fuel dated 23 June 2022.###

National Electrification Administration (NEA) Administrator Emmanuel P. Juaneza, together with other energy officials headed by Department of Energy (DOE) Secretary Raphael P.M. Lotilla, attended the Public Hearing of the Senate Committee on Energy on Tuesday, 6 September 2022.

Committee on Energy Chairman Sen. Raffy Tulfo presided the hearing which focused on the issue of recurrent brownouts in Occidental Mindoro. Energy officials were asked about the power supply situation in the province. Currently, Occidental Mindoro is not connected to the Luzon Grid and has only one power supplier, the Occidental Mindoro Consolidated Power Corporation (OMCPC).

An impending curtailment of electricity had the Sultan Kudarat Electric Cooperative, Inc. (SUKELCO) buy 120,000 liters of diesel fuel for Kalamansig Diesel Power Plant (KDPP) of the National Power Corporation-Small Power Utility Group (NPC-SPUG).

The power plant was set to run out of diesel fuel on 25 August 2022, to affect the whole area of the Municipalities of Kalamansig and Lebak, 11 barangays in Palimbang and two barangays in Esperanza, all in the Province of Sultan Kudarat, and Sitio Guila-guila, Brgy. Kuya in the Municipality of Upi, Maguindanao.
