Power Watch Negros expressed its support to the proposed Joint Venture Agreement between Central Negros Electric Cooperative and More Power Corporation, its secretary general, Wennie Sancho, said.
In his letter to Councilor Claudio Jesus Raymundo Puentevella, chairperson of the Sangguniang Panlungsod Committee on Energy and Public Utilities, Sancho said “the fruition of the JVA between Ceneco and More Power Corp. will provide efficient services, affordable and reliable power supply”.
“This is after the rehabilitation of Ceneco’s infrastructure, substations, plants, and other equipment by installing state-of-the-art technologies and gadgets that will revolutionize this distribution facility to serve and meet the demands of the consumers, in partnership with More Power Corporation,” Sancho added.
He claimed that Power Watch Negros’ support to the JVA is grounded on the premise that “power supply is vital to the economic development…(and) that stable, affordable, and reliable power supply will attract more investors, create more job opportunities, increase the worker’s purchasing power to pump prime the economy, and sustain the needs of the people”.
Ceneco acting general manager Arnel Lapore earlier described the proposed JVA as a “good thing” as he expects that it will improve and develop the distribution facility./GB
