Speaking to TeleRadyo, NGCP spokesperson Cynthia Alabanza said the typhoon destroyed a total of 818 poles. "'Yan ang nahaharap na restoration challenge ng NGCP. For transmission lang 'yan," she said.Alabanza said NGCP will be able to restore transmission lines "in less than 3 months" but noted that electric cooperatives must fix their own systems to restore power distribution to customers.
She said NGCP is seeking to restore power to customers of Bohol Electric Cooperative 2 by end of December. It has transported Emergency Restoration Systems to Bohol to expedite the restoration of transmission services in the province. An ERS is used to bypass toppled transmission towers until they are permanently restored, the NGCP said.
