THE Pangasinan area has been re-energized by the National Grid Corporation of the Philippines (NGCP) early Saturday afternoon.

In a statement posted on Twitter on Saturday, the NGCP said the Pangasinan Electric Cooperatives Inc. and the Cenpelco Inc. had its power back due to the restoration of the Labrador-Bani-Bolinao 69 kilovolts (kVs) line.

The identified line has been non-operational Friday due to the devastation caused by Typhoon Mario (Fung-Wong).

Specifically, the customers that have been re-energized are the residents of Labrador, Sual, Alaminos, Mabini, Burgos, Dasol, Infanta, Agno, Bani, and Bolinao.

On the other hand, the NGCP reported that the Benguet Electric Cooperatives Inc. (Beneco) has been powerless Saturday, which was the effect of the line tripping of the La Trinidad-Bulalacao 69 kVs line.

Consequently, the entire Mountain Province has been on a power outage, along with Beneco's Atok and Mankayan Substations.

The 69 kV line is the smallest transmission line that powers the households. (PNA) source
