Negros Power Eases Our Struggles with Generator Support for BACIWA Pumping Stations

Amid the power issues we’ve been dealing with in Bacolod City, Negros Power has come through for us, the consumers. They recently provided three generator sets to the BACIWA pumping stations, which have been struggling due to the power shortage at the Alijis Substation.

A Lifeline During Power Interruptions

The power supply issues we’ve been facing aren’t just our lights going out—they’ve also disrupted our water supply. The pumping stations connected to Alijis Feeder 3 were left without backup generators, leaving us worried about managing without water during the rotational brownouts. But Negros Power’s decision to provide these generator sets has been a real lifesaver. Even when the power was down, they ensured we didn’t lose access to water, showing that they’re aware of how these outages affect our daily lives.

Efforts to Bring Back Normalcy

As of August 24, Negros Power has already stationed and installed a 10 MVA mobile substation and an 18 MVA power transformer at the Alijis Substation. This isn’t just a temporary fix—it’s a significant step toward returning our power supply to normal. They are currently finalizing electrical testing and connections, and by Monday evening, we expect the power to be fully restored.

This means that the rotational brownouts we’ve been experiencing should finally end. By Tuesday, all 47,000 affected consumers should see their power restored to normal, allowing us to return to our routines without worrying about the next outage.

A Commitment to Our Future

The Alijis Substation is crucial for our community, and its recent troubles have shown just how vital the ongoing rehabilitation work by Negros Power is. It was a huge inconvenience when the power transformer failed on August 21. Still, it also pushed Negros Power to speed up the upgrades we needed.

Mr. Roel Castro, President and CEO of Negros Power, has been honest about the challenges we’re facing. He said, “We are doing something out of the ordinary, and our priority is to restore the power to all the consumers.” His words remind us that they are not just addressing the immediate problem but are committed to ensuring our future power supply is more reliable.

Looking Ahead

We’ve felt the impact of these power issues in our daily lives, but we’ve also seen the efforts being made to fix them. Negros Power’s provision of generator sets to BACIWA pumping stations, and their quick action at the Alijis Substation show that they are focused on us and our needs.

While the past few days have been tough, the steps Negros Power has taken give us hope. They’re not just reacting to the crisis but working hard to ensure we don’t have to go through this again. And for that, we’re grateful.
