A UNIT of Aboitiz Power Corp. has brought online its first digital substation in Davao City.
Davao Light and Power Co., Inc. said the substation in Calinan district can digitally track and assess technical issues within the area鈥檚 power distribution system.
鈥淭his will significantly reduce, shorten and even prevent power outages and their impact to the community,鈥 the power firm said in a statement, Thursday.
Also, the digital substation limits physical monitoring of the station鈥檚 status, especially now that quarantine restrictions are in place.
鈥淲e continued to push forward with this project despite the trying times because the Calinan substation will help us make sure to keep the lights on for our customers during this community quarantine period,鈥 Davao Light President and Chief Operating Officer Rodger S. Velasco was quoted as saying. 鈥 Adam J. Ang
