MERALCO ASSURES PUBLIC OF 24/7 SERVICE DURING COMMUNITY QUARANTINE

The Manila Electric Company (MERALCO) today assured the public that it will continue to serve its customers and operate 24/7 to ensure uninterrupted distribution of power during the 30-day community quarantine (15 March to 14 April 2020).

The distribution utility stated that it has taken all precautions to preserve the safety and health of its employees while also sustaining its continuous operations in the franchise area.

Meralco clarified that it will defer its earlier scheduled maintenance activities during the community quarantine period  except for those deemed as critically loaded areas, as approved by the Department of Energy (DOE).

Meralco SVP & Head of Networks Engr. Ronnie L. Aperocho said “During these challenging times, Meralco will continue working with the energy sector so as to ensure that electric power services remain uninterrupted.

Meralco is implementing its business continuity plan and emergency measures to distribute power around the clock, especially to crucial installations such as hospitals. At the same time, we are one with the power sector in our total compliance with the directives of the DOH in order to arrest the COVID 19 situation. Our customers can be rest assured that safety is also of paramount concern to us and we will continue to cooperate with government in ensuring that we will provide the best level of service expected from us.”
