TEAM AT WORK: AboitizPower distribution utilities (DU’s) Cotabato Light and Davao Light teams work together to speed-up the line stringing of the new Malagapas substation, while other team does the pole relocations.

Through the years, Cotabato Light has been active not only in its community outreach programs but also in compliance and coordination with Government agencies requirements and requests.

In line with DPWH plan for its road widening project this year, a number of Cotabato Light’s 69kv poles and line attachments will have to be relocated. Having been informed of the said undertaking, a scheduled interruption is inevitable. Hence, power outage schemes have been prepared to hasten without undermining the quality of work to be done.

The scope is huge considering that a whole feeder along Sinsuat Avenue – or under Sin-2 feeder will have to be interrupted for about ten (10) hours. Since some government bureaus and private offices are in Sin-2 feeder, the most likely schedule will be on weekend where load and office activities are minimal.

On June 25, Cotabato Light’s Transmission & Distribution team along with some of Davao Light’s linemen have been deployed to speed-up the relocation of poles and transmission lines. Both teams also took the opportunity to work on the line stringing of the new Malagapas substation thereby maximizing work output during scheduled power interruptions. Also, the Davao Light team brought with them is their heavy equipments and hi-tech tools which rendered support in meeting the deadlines.  With few more substation add-ons and it will be ready for commissioning anytime this year.

With an immense team effort and a pool of skilled technical men in Aboitiz Power group, no task is unachievable. Truly, this is living proof that has been tested for decades and generations of Aboitiz customer service and teamwork. Together, a better future is a dream that is just within reach. //
