The number of Visayan Electric's customers who still have no power supply had dwindled to 117,671 as of 12 p.m. Tuesday, 33 days after Typhoon Odette (Rai) devastated parts of central and southern Cebu on Thursday evening, December 16, 2022.
The power distributor had promised to restore power to 100 percent of its affected customers by January 31.
Visayan Electric has been repairing poles and power lines a day after the onslaught of Typhoon Odette.
