Veco to shut power if wind reaches 90kph
THE Visayan Electric Company (Veco) will shut down power as a precautionary measure when winds from typhoon “Ruby” reach 90 kilometers per hour.
When teams restore power, they follow a sequence.
“We start from the high voltage lines down to low voltage lines,” said Valentin S. Saludes III, Veco vice president for engineering group in a briefing yesterday.
This is part of the utility firm’s contingency plans and restoration sequence to ensure that power will be restored quickly.
They said they want customers to understand how they go about restoration work and avoid getting angry calls from households that have no power when their neighbors are already lighted.
Veco reputation management manager Maria Theresa Gonzales-Sederiosa said they have 352 linemen on standby to restore power lines, 40 gang trucks, 135 emergency crew members, , 30 feeder patrollers and additional emergency crew from their sister company Davao Light and Power Company./Reporter Aileen Garcia-Yap
