MOELCI-1 announces weekend brownout


OROQUIETA CITY: The Misamis Occidental Electric Cooperative, Incorporated (MOELCI) 1 has announced an scheduled power interruption in its franchise area, this coming Jan. 17 and 18, that is Saturday and Sunday.


The two-day power interruption is set from 6:00 in the morning to 5:00 in the afternoon, as most of the offices and schools are closed at the time, therefore less transactions are affected, Ruben P. Bonalos, MOELCI-1 general manager, said.

Bonales added the power interruption will again be due to the retirement and removal of dilapidated poles and installation of new ones, as well, as stringing of bare wires.

Mainly, the power interruption on Saturday will be due to those activities involving Feeder 2 (F2V), along Oroquieta North District towards Lopez Jaena town in the north-western part of the province.

That of Sunday, Jan. 18, will involve Feeder 1 (F1V), along Oroquieta South District towards Aloran town in the eastern part and F2V, as well, Bonalos said.

This is the second weekend, this month, that MOELCI has scheduled the power interruption for the same reasons. (WITH REPORTS FROM PIA)
