Distributing Positive Energy
Cotabato Light and Power Company (“Cotabato Light”) is a wholly owned electric distribution utility of the Aboitiz Company. Incorporated on April 23, 1938, Cotabato Light service area covers Cotabato City and parts of Datu Odin Sinsuat and Sultan Kudarat municipalities in Maguindanao Province.
Originally granted a 50-year power distribution franchise, it was extended by the then Energy Regulatory Board, now Energy Regulatory Commission (ERC), in 1990 for another 25 years from June 17, 1989, or until 2014. It was issued with a new Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity (CPCN) to operate until 2039.
Cotabato Light’s supply of power comes from the Power Sector Assets and Liabilities and Management (PSALM) and has bilateral agreements with the Independent Power Producers. The power is delivered through the transmission line operated by the National Grid Corporation of the Philippines (NGCP). It maintains a diesel-fed power generation plant, available to operate during times of power shortage.
Cotabato Light utilizes various state-of-the-art technologies in its operations to improve its efficiency and service through its three power distribution substations and eleven (11) feeder lines. These assets can be remotely controlled using the Supervisory Control Data Acquisition (SCADA) via remote control.
