Three other house bills pushed for DLPC expansion in the entire or parts of Nordeco’s franchise area namely HB 6995 by Davao de Oro 1st District Rep.

He said that electric cooperatives in the country were a brainchild of former President Ferdinand Marcos, Sr. in 1969, with NEA as the supervising arm of the late president’s rural electrification program. Nordeco member-consumers oppose the expansion of Davao Light and Power Company in the franchise area of the electric cooperative during a protest rally in Tagum City on Monday, 20 March 2023.
