The Manila Electric Company (Meralco), along with its social development arm One Meralco Foundation (OMF), joined the PRRD-Task Force Kapatid 2020 early Saturday morning to help expedite the restoration of electricity service in areas severely battered by super typhoon Rolly.
Meralco deployed a 206-strong contingent of engineers, linemen, and support personnel to help in the power restoration in Albay, Catanduanes, and parts of Camarines Sur. 65 of them will be helping the National Grid Corporation of the Philippines (NGCP) in its restoration efforts in Bicol.
Meralco is closely coordinating with the Department of Energy (DOE), National Electrification Administration (NEA), Philippine Rural Electric Cooperatives Association Inc. (Philreca), and the Electric Cooperatives in Bicol.
