“PENELCO must improve its services in no time to regain member consumers’ trust by minimizing the ridiculous scheduled and unscheduled power interruptions”
This is no less than disconcerting news in view of the country’s post-pandemic recovery efforts in which access to electricity is a salient necessity. Very clearly, one of the priorities of the administration of President Bongbong Marcos is the electrification of all inhabited areas of the country, particularly agricultural communities.
One entity that has failed miserably in fulfilling its mandate is the Peninsula Electric Cooperative , which holds the franchise to operate in the province of Bataan until the year 2040. Unfortunately, PENELCO’s excuses cannot justify the adverse effects of the brownouts on Bataan’s eco-tourism, as well as the agro-industries of the province with over 854,000 population.
