The electric cooperatives raised a total of PHP18 Million to be loaned interest-free to MAGELCO for the uprating of their 5 MVA power transformer to 10 MVA located at Brgy. Capiton, Datu Odin Sinsuat, Maguindanao del Norte. This will help address their power reliability and minimize MAGELCO’s systems loss.
