“The
frequent on and off of electricity supply became such a hassle to us.”
This is
only one of the few sentiments that Boracay residents wants to raise regarding
the power interruptions that the island is suffering from at the moment.
The Aklan
Electric Cooperative (AKELCO) has previously issued a public apology not only
in Boracay but as well other municipalities in Aklan.
However,
to some residents, this is not enough.
What they
need to know, they said, is what moves does the cooperative take to give
solution to the mentioned problem.
According
to a certain “Liza,” aside from the damages the interruptions may cause to
their electrical appliances and the risk of being robbed during the sudden
brown out, they are also suffering from the extreme heat brought about the
summer weather.
Meanwhile,
during its meeting with the Boracay Foundation Incorporated (BFI) on May 10,
AKELCO explained that the power interruptions are due to that low voltage and
manual load dropping.
This is
still in line with the continuous repair of NGCP 69KV connection to the 50MVA
at Panit-an, Capiz.
AKELCO
continues to encourage its consumers to be wise in using electricity.
