On 9 May 2022, the day of national and local elections, some Electric Cooperatives (ECs) that remain unenergized due to Typhoon Odette will be powered by solar flood lights and generator sets. The Commision on Elections (COMELEC) identified the areas that will not be able to complete the re-energization by the time the elections transpire. This was then verified by the corresponding ECs.
The Department of Energy (DOE) procured the necessary equipment, and enjoined the National Electrification Administration (NEA) to arrange the delivery of the items to the recipient ECs. NEA facilitated and financed the cargo plane transportation with budget allocation from the Agency’s Internally Generated Funds, completing the delivery on 7 May 2022.
