Dingras, Ilocos Norte—The locos Norte Electric Cooperative (INEC) conducted its 42nd Annual General Membership Assembly (AGMA) meetings in three sites in Ilocos Norte—Batac City, Bacarra and Dingras.

The AGMA events were held May 22, 28 and June 4, respectively.

National Electrification Administration (NEA) public affairs office department manager Dir. Judith T. Alvarez served as guest of honor and speaker in Batac; NEA Legal Services V Atty. Ricardo C. Orias Jr. in Bacarra; and NEA Deputy Administrator for Legal Services Atty. Rossan SJ. Rosero-Lee in Dingras.

INEC general manager Felino Herbert Agdigos said the AGMA aims to inform all member-consumers about INEC’s accomplishments for the past year and to present plans and programs for the coming year.

Mr. Agdigos announced that as of May 2016, INEC has a total of 153,503 house connections with 141,891 member-consumers.

Aside from the Dingras main office, INEC also has six sub-offices and eight sub-stations. INEC is also among the highly rated electric cooperatives and a Mega Large AAA cooperative in the country.

Earlier, INEC accomplished energization of the whole Ilocos Norte following the power connection at Sitio Bucarot in Adams, Ilocos Norte.

Mr. Agdigos also stressed during the meetings that INEC also looks after the welfare of its member-consumers. Among the INEC projects for them include pro-poor programs, Brigada Eskwela program, and the burial assistance program.

Last year, INEC welcomed two newly elected directors, Dr. Julito Catubay for District VI and Maria Teresa Orcino for District II.

Meanwhile, INEC board president Reynaldo M. Lazo said he always consider the member-consumers as the “pillars and source of strength and security of INEC”.

He emphasized that the member-consumers are INEC’s co-owners; as he also recognized their continued participation in all of INEC’s programs and for paying their bills promptly.


Mr. Lazo also announced that power rates in the province will be lower in 2019. The lower power rates are supposedly due to a 20-year power supply agreement with Masinloc Power Partners Co. The agreement was signed last year.

Residents in this agricultural town derived most of their income from the harvest of high value crops, including rice, tobacco and corn as staple crops.
