Dingras, Ilocos Norte—The Ilocos Norte Electric Cooperative
(INEC) has announced a .67 centavos decrease of power rates for the September
billing.
Records show that the
residential rates for August was P9.99 while the September rate has been pegged
at P9.32.
It also follows that the
rates for small and large commercial, industrial, irrigation, public buildings
and street lights would also be lower.
INEC general manager Engr.
Felino Herbert P. Agdigos said the lower power rates was due to the lower
prices from power distributors.
Mr. Agdigos hopes that this
will continue in the following months, especially since the province has just
been battered by a strong typhoon.
Mr. Agdigos also disclosed
that INEC had a better efficiency report for September. August losses were
pegged at P11.46 while September recorded an P11.46 loss, or a 0.06%
difference.
Meanwhile, INEC board
president Reynaldo M. Lazo clarified that the information naming the top 10
delinquent INEC consumers was not true.
Mr. Lazo said the list that
was released was not from INEC.
In this regard, Mr. Lazo
asked the members of the local media to be more circumspect in releasing
unverified information.
“Nasakit iti nakem ko ta ag-reflect kadakami a board of directors ken
iti management nga agipablaak tayo
iti information a haan met a pudno
ken haan nga official”, Mr. Lazo said.
Laoag mayor Chevylle V. Fariñas,
for her part also expressed surprise with the list, which put the Laoag City
Hall in the top 1o as she stressed that there is a pending case between Laoag
and INEC with regards to the franchise tax issue.
Ms. Fariñas stressed that the
bills in questioned may have been in the past since the city government is
updated in its payment of its power bills.
