DAGUPAN CITY, Nov 8 (PIA) -- The National Grid Corporation of the
Philippines (NGCP) said it will shut down some of its transmission
facilities in parts of eastern Pangasinan for 12-hours on Saturday,
November 10.
Power will be interrupted from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. for the annual
preventive maintenance and testing of Mangaldan 5MVA power transformer,
simultaneous with replacement of selected wood poles along San
Manuel-Manaoag-Urdaneta-Mangaldan 69kV transmission line, Lilibeth
Gaydowen of NGCP said.
The affected distribution utility includes portions of Pangasinan

Specific municipalities to be affected by the power interruption are

allots the available power within its franchise area and implements the
power interruption scheduled among the end-users.

necessary preparations and precautions for this scheduled interruption.
Normal operations will immediately resume after work completion.
