DOE vows to address electric coop concerns

The National Electrification Administration (NEA) and National Power Corp. (Napocor) have been given marching orders by the new administration of the energy department to address the issues and concerns of electric cooperatives (ECs).

Department of Energy (DOE) Secretary Alfonso Cusi asked both agencies to “go down to the cooperatives” after officers and members of the Philippine Rural Electric Cooperative Association Inc., (PHILRECA) led by its general manager, Wendell Ballesteros, held dialogue with the new energy chief.
