The filing of House Bill 6740 seeking to expand the franchise area of Aboitiz-owned Davao Light and Power Company (DLPC) to eight additional areas is a necessary piece of legislation.
DAVAO CITY – The filing of House Bill 6740 seeking to expand the franchise area of Aboitiz-owned Davao Light and Power Company to eight additional areas is a necessary piece of legislation.
“HB 6740, if enacted into law, is a major milestone for the province of Davao del Norte as the expansion of the energy services provided by Davao Light will bring about a positive change to the lives of our constituents, providing them with reliable and efficient power supply,” he said. These areas are being serviced by the North Davao Electric Cooperative Inc. , which has an existing franchise for the mainland until 2028 and Samal until 2033.
“Over the years, NORDECO has suffered from losses and conflicting factions within the cooperative which have led to inadequate infrastructure, piling debts to service providers including power suppliers, cancelled power supply contracts, excessive systems losses, and failure to energize parts of its franchise area even up to this time,” she said.
Nograles believed that expanding the DLPC’s franchise ‘will redound to the greater good of the residents’ and ensure a ‘stable and reliable supply, and, ultimately, economic progress.’
