Northern Davao Electric Cooperative, Inc.(Nordeco), formerly Davao del Norte Electric Cooperative (Daneco), is eyeing to energize 45 sitios/puroks this year through the Sitio Electrification Program (SEP).
SEP is one of the projects of the National Electrification Administration (NEA) that aims to light up sitios/puroks in every corner of the country especially those in remote areas.
As of 2020, Nordeco has lighted up 462 sitios.
Nordeco also vowed to continue energizing far-flung sitios through SEP despite financial difficulties because of the pandemic.
Nordeco recently conducted SEP virtual project conference for Davao del Norte beneficiaries held at QACS Gym, Tagum City that was participated by the National Electrification Administration (NEA) project supervisor for NORDECO Emmanuel B. Galarse, Nordeco general manager Mario Angelo M. Sotto, NORDECO Management Committee, Task Force Duterte Northern Davao Power (TFD-NDP) vice-chairperson director Alejandro Rodriguez, Representatives of the municipal and barangay local government, purok/sitio leaders, officials and project contractors of the Department of Public Works and Highways 11 (DPWH 11).
“Bisan naglisod kita sa pondo tungod sa pandemic,ang programa sa SEP nahatagan ug share gikan sa National Budget kun diin aduna kita’y allocation na P90 million ug 45 ka sitios ang makabenepisyo niini. Ang atong kooperatiba wala naglantaw sa ginansya apan ang paghatag og serbisyo. Atong gilantaw nga mahimong smooth ang pag-deliver sa proyekto pinaagi sa inyong tabang sa pag-assist sa mga beneficiaries. Usa na tabang niini ang pagputol sa mga kahoy nga maagian sa linya kay aron malikayan ang pagsablay sa linya ug malikayan ang mga power interruption,” Galarse said.
