MANGATAREM–The Central Pangasinan Electric Cooperative (Cenpelco) will start operating a new sub-station here this month to boost the supply of power in the towns of Mangatarem and Aguilar.

Cenpelco Director Alma Banaga said the project will stabilize power supply to 220 volts and finally end problems of fluctuating power voltage that caused damage to household appliances.

Banaga, who worked for the immediate energization of the power station, admitted that power supply in the area had been fluctuating from 160 to 220 volts.

Negotiations for the right-of-way of the supply line are being ironed out to pave the way for the clearing of obstructions that could adversely affect transmission lines.

“We are now 99 percent on this endeavor,” said Banaga.

Banaga expressed optimism that with the commissioning of the new power facility, there will be a boom in businesses and other economic investments in the area.—LM
