Bilang bahagi ng Power Task Force Election 2016, patuloy na tinitiyak ng Department of Energy (DoE) na magkakaroon ng sapat, maaasahan at matatag na power supply ang bansa para sa buong tag-araw, lalo na sa araw ng halalan.
“Our team is currently assessing the power supply situation by closely coordinating with the National Grid Corporation of the Philippines and the power plant owners/operators in Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao to make sure that the generating facilities which are currently on maintenance shutdown will be back online ahead of the election period,” wika ni Energy Secretary Zenaida Monsada.
Sinabi niya na ang mga nakaplanong brownout ay bahagi ng integrity assessment ng mga planta upang matiyak na gumagana at maayos ang mga ito sa panahon ng eleksiyon. PNA
