The National Grid Corporation of the Philippines said Panay will have a stable supply of electricity by 2017.
The NGCP is beginning preparations for the anticipated high demand of electricity during the Christmas season, which is about four months away.
As part of its preparation, the NGCP conducted a forum in Kalibo, Aklan for the media, information officers and local government representatives on Thursday.
Rene Sison, head of the NGCP Systems Operations-Panay, said the high demand for electricity usually starts in December and lasts till the summer.
“Usually, when we have a high demand of electricity in Panay, we get the supply from Luzon to augment the needed demand,” Sison said.
“The current electrical system of Panay is unstable since many of our electrical poles were damaged by Typhoon ‘Yolanda.’ We still continue our restoration efforts. We hope to make our electricity supply stable by April 2017,” he said.
