NGCP warns of Mindanao outages during 2016 polls

MASSIVE power outages may hit Mindanao during the national elections next year if right-of-way (ROW) problems with land owners remain unresolved, the National Grid Corp. of the Philippines (NGCP) said.

NGCP spokesperson Cynthia Alabanza said ROW issue has already reached critical levels with the sustained tripping of the Agus 2-Kibawe Line 1 in Mindanao, usually caused by a fallen tree that cuts off the line conductors.
