Power woes in Mindanao worsen

In contrast to the previous rotational brown-out, power outages in Mindanao has worsen with a daily duration of eight to nine hours brown-out, particularly in Kidapawan City and North Cotabato province alone, due to reported on-going maintenance on two power generators in the provinces of Lanao del Norte and Misamis Oriental.

Cotabato Electric Cooperative (Cotelco) officials reported lately that they are now implementing rotating brownouts in North Cotabato due various repairs and maintenance shutdown of power plants, including hydropower facilities in Lanao del Norte and Misamis Oriental.
