The National Electrification Administration (NEA), in compliance with the directive of President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr., has restored stable electricity in the Province of Siquijor, ending several days of rotating brownouts that affected thousands of families, businesses, and schools.

Marcos personally addressed the situation on June 11, instructing NEA Administrator Antonio Mariano Almeda to resolve the crisis without delay. The President set a deadline of June 15 for the restoration of stable power supply to the province.

By June 14, NEA had delivered on this directive. Through close coordination with the Province of Siquijor Electric Cooperative,NEA expedited repairs on power generation sets of the Siquijor Island Power Corporation. The agency also facilitated the transport and installation of a generator set from the Palawan Electric Cooperative, while additional rental gensets from the Siquijor Island Power Corporation helped secure supply.

These efforts resulted in a dependable capacity of 11 megawatts (MW) ? more than enough to meet Siquijor’s peak demand of 9 MW, with 1.65 MW in reserve for contingencies.

NEA remains committed to monitoring the power situation in Siquijor to ensure that families, businesses, and schools continue to enjoy reliable electricity in the days and weeks ahead. Presidential News Desk
