Elvera Alngog, Nordeco acting general manager, said that for the February billing period, the power rates of the cooperative had gone down by P2 to P15 per kilowatt hour from P17 per kwh after Psalm added 20 megawatts to the 15 MW of cheap hydropower that it supplied the cooperative each month.
He and Virgilio Agunod, former president of the business organization, also tagged Nordeco for being not transparent in their billing. Three other house bills pushed for DLPC expansion in parts or in whole within Nordeco’s franchise area; namely: HB 6995 by Davao de Oro 1st district Rep. Maricar Zamora and Davao del Norte 1st district Rep. Alan Dujali; HB 6740 by PBA Rep. Margarita Ignacia Nograles, and HB 7047 by Marino party list Rep. Sandro Gonzales.While the rest of the congressional measures seek a wider expansion of the DLPC franchise, HB 6995 sought to expand the Aboitiz power utility’s coverage area only in Samal.
Lawyer David Campoamor, Nordecolegal counsel, described the four proposed bills as “unconstitutional,” since the electric cooperative’s franchise still had to end in 2028 and 2033 respectively.
