This developed after DLPC broke ground on July 26 the full digital substation with an upgraded capacity of 33MVA to cater to the fast development of the area.
DLPC in a statement said, a substation is a key component of a distribution system that regulates electricity voltage to make it stable and ready for residential, commercial, or industrial use.
DLPC said the new digital substation can be remotely monitored and controlled, enabling faster troubleshooting when problems arise and helping prevent unwanted interruptions. This facility can also help restore emergency power outages in nearby areas by switching the power from one source to another with a few clicks.
“We stay committed to supplying reliable electric service and remain a steadfast partner in the progress of the communities we serve. We continue to invest in the latest technology to align with the international standards of power distribution,” Davao Light President and Chief Operating Officer Rodger Velasco said.
Davao Light Panabo Branch, which serves Panabo City and the Municipalities of Carmen, Dujali, and Sto. Tomas, started in 1994 serving more than 20 megawatts and 25,000 industrial, commercial, and residential customers. With the continuous facilities and services upgrades, 27 years later, the numbers more than tripled with peak power demand at 75 megawatts serving over86,000 customers.
Velasco led the groundbreaking ceremony together with Panabo City Mayor Jose Relampagos. Davao Light executives and officials of Panabo City Local Government Unit (LGU).
