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.

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.
