‘Voltage dip causing
unstable power supply’
BY JUANCHO GALLARDE

The Negros Oriental II Electric Cooperative is also complaining about the so-called voltage dip and voltage surge being experienced by its consumers from Pamplona to Basay towns.

General manager Ephraim Taclob of NORECO 2 yesterday said they are receiving complaints about this problem from several businessmen in Dumaguete City.

He added that the voltage dip is experienced during peak hours from 5 to 8 p.m. The unstable power supply can be traced to heavy fault and vegetation problem, as well as the low voltage supply from Transco, he said.
