NGCP CONNECTS NORTH EASTERN NEGROS POWER LINES
The National Grid Corporation of the Philippines (NGCP) announced its on-going project in the north eastern part of Negros Island along the peripheries of Occidental and Oriental areas particularly from San Carlos City up to Guihulngan City.
Said announcement was made during NGCP’s project presentation at the Negros Association of Government Information Officers and Liaisons’ meeting held at Sugarland Hotel in Bacolod, Nov. 15, 2016.
Said project aimed at giving flexible power supply and improving power reliability for San Carlos City to avert power shortage especially when the 69KV transmission from Cadiz City undergoes power maintenance operation.
The same is expected for Guihulngan City and Vallehermoso since its power transmission also came from Amlan-Guihulngan power line, hence, stable power supply will be maintained when either transmission lines from Cadiz or Amlan will experience power interruption.
Engr. Jessie Asuga, NGCP Project Chief for the Visayas Projects Division said that the 69KV San Carlos –Guihulngan project is now at 80% completion and expected to become operational in June of 2017.
He said five barangays in San Carlos City were site areas for said transmission lines including Punao, Palampas, Rizal, Guadalupe and Buluangan.

And now I wanna tell you the reason why – First of, I am soon an inhabitant of San Carlos City, married there 1995, having our land and house there. So, it will be my hometown which I really love.
Since I am travelling there together with my wife almost every year for vacation we are always facing the same sad issue with this brown out ongoing joke. Not only that the energy charges are ridiculous high, instead this company is torturing you with no power whatsoever.
I dont know how many appliances or devices have been destroyed as of this matter. They are forcing people to buy power generators, or power supplies for their computer. Many years ago a foreigner threw out his TV onto the road and burned it. Obviously, things like do not help at all…..
I am pretty sure this brown out issue existed since the power plant actually has been setup for San Carlos City and since more than 20 years nothing has changed. This definitely is an evidence of incapacity.
Now we have a wonderful Solar power plant, which gave us hope. Many people got a job there which is just fantastic, after the sugar mill closed down several years ago. But no, this energy problem is still an ongoing pain in the neck which is just terrible annoying. You feel cheated !
Listen, we are now living in 2016 and not back in 1930th anymore.and I think its now more time than enough to improve and to get rid of this story.
I am not that 100% sure but I heard from a lady who is working in the City Hall that the Solar company is selling cheap to another Third Party company and they are selling the energy to much higher prices, thats why the brown out is still going on and SCC does not receive the power from the Solar panels.
Another story I heard (not sure if this is true, but I can imagine) is that the energy for San Carlos City actually is coming from Victoria and this power plant is supporting 3 cities with energy and can’t handle all the same time.
All I can see are incompetent Mayors and if I would have been living there in SCC since 1995 I would have developed an institution a group for fighting against this never ending plaque. I would plaster the whole city with huge posters, going onto the street, organizing demonstrations in order to wake up either the Barangay chiefs or the Government.
Thats my opinion to this joke.
