NGCP Successfully Restores Power Transmission in Aklan Province Following Critical Infrastructure Repair
The National Grid Corporation of the Philippines (NGCP) has officially announced the full restoration and normalization of power transmission services in key areas of Aklan Province. This significant milestone was achieved at precisely 1:31 p.m. on February 13, 2026, following the successful repair of critical infrastructure that had been disrupted.
Details of the Restoration Effort
The power restoration specifically impacted the operations of AKELCO (Aklan Electric Cooperative, Inc.), which manages the Caticlan and Boracay Substations, as well as PWEI and GBP PPC3 Nabas. The primary reason for the successful normalization was the final connection and successful energization of the new Caticlan XLPE Underground Cable. This cable was reintegrated into its original scheme within the 69kV Nabas-Unidos-Caticlan Line, a crucial step in stabilizing the electrical grid.
Additionally, the temporary bypass line that had been in use during the interruption period has now been completely disconnected, ensuring a return to standard operational protocols. This move underscores NGCP's commitment to maintaining reliable and efficient power transmission across the region.
Appreciation for Public Patience
In a public statement, NGCP expressed its sincere appreciation for the patience and understanding demonstrated by residents and businesses during the power interruption. The corporation emphasized that such infrastructure repairs are essential for long-term reliability and safety, and they thanked the community for their cooperation throughout the process.
This restoration effort highlights NGCP's ongoing dedication to upgrading and maintaining the Philippines' power grid, particularly in vital tourist and economic hubs like Aklan Province. The timely resolution is expected to support local activities and minimize further disruptions.
