Power will be interrupted in various barangays covered by the Poblacion and Wescom circuits on April 6 from 12 midnight to 3 a.m. due to tree clearing and jumper replacement activities, the Palawan Electric Cooperative (PALECO) announced Monday.
PALECO acting manager Federico Villar Jr. in a phone interview with Palawan News said the scheduled repair works are “significant” since they would help reduce power outages caused by birds and trees.
Nine jumpers will be replaced with insulated ones along roads in the Poblacion and Wescom circuits, and eight trees will be trimmed for the purpose on Wednesday, he said.
“Significant po yan. Yan ang continuing effort ng PALECO para yong possibility na yong ibon nanaman ang maging cause ng power interruption. Although na-resolve na yan, ini-ensure lang namin na wala ng window na mangyari ulit,” Villar said.
“Kapag nadidikitan nila, nagkakaroon ng power interruption kaya ginagawaan namin ng paraan na maiwasan yon. Kaya humihingi kami ng pasensya sa maaapektuhan nating mga residente,” he added.
