The National Electrification Administration (NEA) heads into the New Year with great enthusiasm, as preparations continue for the launch of one of its flagship projects, the Digital Dashboard Command Center (DDCC).

NEA Administrator Antonio Mariano Almeda said that he looks forward to working with Benguet Electric Cooperative (BENECO) and Cebu III Electric Cooperative, Inc. (CEBECO 3), which will serve as pilot co-ops for the first phase of DDCC.

National Electrification Administration (NEA) chief Antonio Mariano Almeda highlighted the resolution of power supply problems and other issues faced by electric cooperatives (ECs) in Benguet, Occidental Mindoro, and Maguindanao among the major accomplishments of the Agency this 2023.

The Administrator delivered his report during a thanksgiving gathering hosted by the Philippine Rural Electric Cooperatives Association, Inc. (PHILRECA) last Monday evening, 18 December 2023. He noted in particular the improved electricity situation in Occidental Mindoro after a period of crisis.

“The pressure was not only coming from the people of Occidental Mindoro. From what I have seen when I went there, talagang nakakaawa, ang init-init sa (it was really heartbreaking, it was so hot in) Mindoro… Imagine 20 hours of brownout? So, we came up with solutions,” Administrator Almeda said.

The National Electrification Administration (NEA) and its Legal Services Office (LSO) recently participated in a community outreach program for the benefit of orphaned children under the custody of the Home of Love, Missionaries of Charity Sisters of Mother Teresa in Antipolo City, Rizal.

The LSO led by Atty. Bryan Merza organized the gift-giving activity together with the members of the Samahan ng mga Kawaning Makareporma ng NEA (SAMAKAREN) last 18 December 2023. This is part of their annual tradition in time for the Christmas holiday season.
