NGCP says Emong-affected power lines fully restored
State grid operator National Grid Corporation of the Philippines (NGCP) over the weekend said it has already restored power lines affected by the continuous rains brought about by Tropical Depression Emong (international name: Co-May). According to the NGCP, the Luzon Grid was normalized after the last affected line—the Bacnotan-Bulala 69 kilo-volt line—was restored at 10:47 a.m. on Saturday, July 26. 'NGCP assures the public that it is continuously monitoring weather disturbances and is ready to activate its OCMC (overall command and monitoring center) should there be any threat to its transmission facilities,' the NGCP said. Emong exited the Philippine area of responsibility (PAR) on Saturday morning, but the state weather bureau PAGASA said the southwest monsoon (Habagat) will continue to bring rains over parts of the country. — Jon Viktor D.
