KALIBO, Aklan -- The National Grid Corporation of the Philippines (NGCP) has scheduled a four-hour power interruption that will affect the province of Aklan.

In an advisory, the NGCP said the interruption will start at 12 a.m. and end at 4 a.m. of October 30.

"We will exert all our efforts to restore power earlier or as scheduled," read the advisory, which was relayed through text message from the office of the Aklan Electric Cooperative, the power distributor in the province.

The NGCP said it will undertake hotspot correction of thermal anomalies at Panit-an-Nabas substation, as well as in the Caticlan 69 KV line to Nabas, thus the need for power interruption.

Other reasons include the relocation of capacitor bank panels and the reconnection of loop in Nabas-Culasi.

Thousands of member consumers from all over the province, including those in Boracay Island, will be affected.

The NGCP also announced a power interruption from 4 a.m. to 5 a.m. of October 30 at the Cubay and Cardidad Substation of the Antique Electric Cooperative. (SunStar Philippines)
