Negros power summit set to ensure stable local supply

BACOLOD CITY — The Negros Occidental provincial government is set to hold a power summit in February to ensure adequate and stable power supply on the island following the recent blackouts on Panay Island.

Negros Occidental Gov. Eugenio Jose Lacson said the province is also pushing for more renewable energy.

“The purpose is to ensure that we have enough power now and in the future. Learning from what happened in Panay, we would like to make sure that it will not happen here,” the governor said.

He said there has also been a proposal for an offshore wind power farm to be located in the waters between Negros and Panay.
