Occidental Mindoro braces for power cuts amid maintenance work

CALAPAN CITY — Residents and businesses in Occidental Mindoro are being advised to prepare for possible power outages as the Occidental Mindoro Consolidated Power Corp. proceeds with corrective maintenance on multiple generating units.

The Occidental Mindoro Electric Cooperative issued the advisory to inform consumers of the anticipated supply constraints stemming from the maintenance work. The disruptions are expected to occur as the power generation facility takes several units offline for repair and maintenance procedures.

The cooperative did not specify the exact duration of the maintenance or provide details on which areas would be most affected by the outages. However, residents have been urged to take precautionary measures and prepare for potential service interruptions during the maintenance period.
