The National Electrification Administration (NEA) through the NEA Power Task Force Election (NPTFE) 2022 performed power situation monitoring to provide and maintain stable and continuous nationwide electric power requirements to ensure free, orderly, honest, peaceful and credible conduct of the 9 May 2022 national and local elections.

The NPTFE tirelessly operated round the clock from coordinating with the Electric Cooperatives (ECs) to submitting Power Monitoring Reports (PMR) to the Department of Energy (DOE) starting 5 May 2022. Three days after the elections, and when most of the local winning candidates were proclaimed, the NPTFE reduced its workforce on 12 May 2022 focusing more on areas under the ECs coverage identified by the COMELEC.  During the period, there were no reports of major incidents of power interruptions.

The Department of Energy (DOE) conducted an Energy Audit Spot Check on the compliance of the National Electrification Administration (NEA) with the Government Energy Management Program (GEMP) last 20 April 2022.

The agency was represented by its Energy Efficiency and Conservation (EEC) Officer, Deputy Administrator Sonia B. San Diego. The on-site energy audit inspection was assisted by Officer-in-Charge of Human Resources and Administration Department Annabelle P. Cruz, Officer-in-Charge of the General Services Division and EEC Focal Person Hernando N. Gabotero, GEMP Focal Person Estanislao D. Laxa, Jr. and Building and Ground Maintenance Head Geverglo S. Sotto. The DOE Energy Audit Team interviewed OIC Cruz and her group regarding the agency’s EEC programs as well as their best practices.

The NEA has garnered a score of 100% compliance with its spot check, resulting in an overall Energy Audit Rating of 94.5% equivalent to a Grade A, 5-star rating.

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.
