ILOILO City – MORE Electric and Power Corp. (MORE Power) has kept its promise of better service to Ilonggo consumers.
Aside from lower rates, electricity consumers in this city now experience fewer power interruptions.
MORE Power president Roel Castro said in August alone, there were only three power interruptions.
Data showed a significant decrease in the number of feeder level outages caused by animal intrusions.
Castro attributed the improvement to the increased number of installed animal guards and silicon rubber. The city’s sole power distributor installed 206 animal guards and 177 sets of silicone rubber insulators.
MORE Power also installed 31 automatic circuit reclosers (ARCs) and six load break switches (LBS).
“With this, we were able to avert over 70 percent of instantaneous causes or brownouts/ interruptions in the feeder,” said Castro.
There was a 73-percent average decrease in the number of power interruptions, a 86-percent average decrease in interruption frequency and a 95-percent average decrease in system interruption duration, all within 10 months.
Electricity consumer Vilma Elotresimo of Q. Abeto, Mandurriao district affirmed MORE Power’s quick service.
“Nagsirit sa poste, nanawag kami sa MORE. Insigida ara dayon, wala gani 30 minutes. Madasig kag maayo ang serbisyo sang MORE,” she said./PN
