Olongapo City—The National Grid Corporation of the Philippines has partially restored transmission services affecting parts of Zambales.
“NGCP restored transmission services to Zambalez Electric Cooperative (ZAMECO II) at 2:48 am today, July 24 after shifting its load to Botolan Substation”, said Regional Corporate Communication Officer Ernest Vidal.
Olongapo Electric Distribution Company remains isolated, and without power since 12:27 am, July 24.
The power interruption was caused by the preventive shutdown of Olongapo substation after floodwater entered and affected substation facilities.
“NGCP will immediately commence restoration activities as soon as flood water subsides,” Vidal assured.
Sustained rainfall triggered flooding in 16 barangays in this city on Sunday.
