The
Aklan Electric Cooperative (AKELCO) again explains to the public the reasons
behind the power interruptions in Boracay.
According
to AKELCO Boracay Area Engr. Wayne Bucala, they have on-going and programmed
transfers of posts and electric line repairs in the island which they carry out
one at a time at the moment.
In
line with this, AKELCO encourages its consumers to be thrifty in using
electricity.
This
followed after their appeal to malls, banks, and other big establishments to
limit their use of aircon, refrigerator, and other appliances which consumes so
much energy to avoid Global Business Power Corporation (GBPC) Power Plant trip
off.
The
cooperative is now implementing a manual load dropping of power supplies from
Nabas (Aklan) by the GBPC.
AKELCO
added that the GBPC’s supply has been limited since the restoration of power in
some parts of Boracay.
Akelco
also clarified that it is not them, but the GBPC that schedules the power shut
down.
With
this, AKELCO apologizes to the public and is trying to find solution to the
power interruptions experienced in Boracay.
