NGCP said the Ormoc-Baybay 69 kV line, which serves the Leyte IV Electric Cooperative, Inc. (LEYECO IV), was restored at 5:41 p.m.
It said the Ormoc-San Isidro 69 kV line is still partially returned to service. This caters to Don Orestes Romualdez Electric Cooperative, Inc. (DORELCO), Southern Leyte Electric Cooperative Inc. (SOLECO), (LEYECO III) and LEYECO V.
The Maasin-Baybay 69 kV line serving the LEYECO IV, and the Calongcalong-Asturias 69 kV line serving the Cebu II Electric Cooperative (CEBECO II) remain out of service.
‘There is also one 230 kV line, which is currently unavailable,’ it said, but no other details were disclosed.
