“Sa ngayon makakaasa kayo na wala na po na load shedding dahil on commercial operation na po 2 bagong unit at nagawa na rin yong unit 8,” Delos Reyes cited NAPOCOR’s message.
Delos Reyes, in his post, stated that the current peak load of the Cuyo island covering Cuyo and Magsaysay towns is now at 1.465 MW.
