Central Negros to have enough power from coop until 2015

Central Negros Electric Cooperative will have sufficient power supply until 2015 and that power shortage will be addressed after that.

This was announced by the cooperative's general manager Sulpicio Lagarde Jr.

“By 2015, we see a deficit of about 15-25 megawatts depending on the growth we are anticipating,” he said.

Lagarde said they are talking to power suppliers and plan to increase their supply from the Green Core in Negros Oriental by 10 MW, which it promised to deliver by 2014.

They are also discussing with Energreen for another 20 MW for the peaking requirement of CENECO, he said. Last week, another power generating company discussed with CENECO their liquefied natural gas a renewable source, to be built within the CENECO franchise area, he added.
