The National Grid Corp. of the Philippines (NGCP) reported that it has fully restored all its transmission, subtransmission lines and substations in the Visayas that were affected by Tropical Storm Amang.
The grid operator said all affected facilities are now in normal condition.
“NGCP assures the public that it is ready to conduct similar disaster-management activities to ensure reliable power-transmission services. The corporation is also continuously taking necessary preparations and precautions to minimize the impact of succeeding tropical storms and disasters
