Igacos power woes over;
Daneco gives up island
Daneco gives up island
The lights have faded out in the Davao del Norte Electric Cooperative (Daneco) continuing but failed bid to effectively light up the Island Garden City of Samal (Igacos) in Davao del Norte.
But locals and the thousands of tourists that flock to the tourist island need not worry.
The Davao City-based Davao Light and Power Company (DLPC) is coming to the rescue to brigthen the island and put a close to the dark history of Daneco's poor service.
Daneco, during a recent general assembly of cooperative members in Maco, Compostela Valley, has approved a resolution turning over to DLPC its business of lighting up Igacos.
The resolution given the thumbs up by the power coop's more than 9,000 member-consumers, also authorized the Daneco Board to enter into a memorandum of agreement with DLPC on the power distribution transfer.
Igacos City Administrator Cleto Gales said the transfer would be a boon to the island's investment and tourism promotions initiatives.
This would ease investors' apprehension of unstable power supply, said Gales.
