NEA wants faster sitio electrification

The National Electrification Administration asked the electric cooperatives to speed up their committed sitio electrification projects.

“Based on the status of project implementation reported by the ECs, there’s still a minimal number of projects under construction up to this time and a majority of which are still unreleased, under bidding and not yet awarded, despite our go signal to proceed with the bidding process issued earlier,” NEA administrator Emmanuel Juaneza said in a memorandum.

NEA advised the ECs to implement strategies to ensure the completion/energization of the committed SEP projects until Dec. 31.

These strategies include assignment of a project manager to monitor project implementation and/or contractor’s performance closely, utilization of stock materials while awaiting delivery of bidded materials, requiring contractors to increase their crease, create a taskforce for the projects, prioritize SEP implementation, coordinate with local government units and fast-track the liquidation of previous subsidy funded projects.
