The Regional Development Council is backing moves to place the entire Davao del Norte under the franchise area of the Davao Light and Power Co. | Carmelito Q. Francisco/PDI
Last year, the President vetoed an earlier bill filed by Davao del Norte first district Rep. Pantaleon Alvaraez to expand DLPC’s franchise in areas now served by the Northern Davao Electric Cooperatives.
DLPC currently serves Davao City and some parts of Davao del Norte, like Panabo City and the towns of Carmen, Sto. Tomas and Braulio Dujali. Early this month, the business sector of Tagum City, the capital of Davao del Norte, held an awareness rally to support the congressional proposal.A similar rally was held in Igacos last month as the city, considered the crown jewel of the region in tourism, has experienced fluctuating electricity since Christmas day last year when the submarine cable that provided power in the area conked out.
Elvira Alngog, officer in charge of Nordeco, said early this month that repairing the submarine cable would cost the cooperative P10 million, while its submarine cable project would cost about P1.5 billion.
