In the recently concluded Visayas Warriors of Light Summit - Linemen Rodeo Competition held in Cebu, NEA Administrator Antonio Mariano Almeda recognized the contributions of linemen to the Rural Electrification Program.

The NEA Chief lauded their sacrifice and hard work in electrifying the remote areas of the country to spur socio-economic progress. "Kahit anong galing ng GM, kahit anong galing ng Board, kung wala kayong mga lineman na sumusuporta at nag-iimplement sa desisyon ng management, wala ang galing ng coop," the Administrator told the Warriors of Light.

Electric cooperatives (ECs) nationwide were advised by the National Electrification Administration (NEA) to prepare for the impact of Typhoon Betty, which has entered the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR) on Saturday.

The NEA Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Department (DRRMD) instructed the ECs to take the appropriate contingency measures in order to mitigate the impact of the potential threats that might affect their electric service.

In its effort to avoid delays in the implementation of subsidy-funded projects, the National Electrification Administration (NEA) warned all electric cooperatives (ECs) against blacklisted contractors.

As stated in NEA Memorandum 2023-23, ECs are enjoined to charge and impose liquidated damages against erring contractors for any and all delays incurred in the implementation of the projects, pursuant to the provisions of their respective contracts with the contractors.
