THE power outage across northern and western Mindanao was due to the failure of a transmission line in Lanao del Norte, which the National Grid Corp. of the Philippines (NGCP) blamed Tuesday on thieves who targeted a section of a transmission line in the area, tripping the Agus 5-Aurora 138-kilovolt line.
In a statement, the NGCP said that the blackout affected customers of Zamboanga del Sur I Electric Cooperative; Zamboanga del Sur II Electric Cooperative; Misamis Occidental I Electric Cooperative; Misamis Occidental II Electric Cooperative; Zamboanga del Norte Electric Cooperative; Zamboanga City Electric Cooperative; and Lanao del Norte Electric Cooperative.
