Capelco top official lists system loss in bday wishes
ROXAS CITY – "My wish is a single digit system loss for the cooperative."
This was among the 50th birthday wishes of Capiz Electric Cooperative (Capelco) General Manager Engr. Edgar Diaz who prepared a birthday party last December 3.
Diaz is bent on reducing the cooperative's system loss to sustain its 2007 accomplishment of lowering down the loss from 14 percent in 2006 to 13.91 percent.
The accomplishment was included in the cooperative's technical accomplishments last year that was included in Diaz's report during the recently coducted 33rd Annual General Membership Assembly (AGMA).
"The technical people are focused on its annual plan of bringing down the coop's system loss to a single digit," Diaz said in the AGMA's souvenir program.
The system loss reduction was also attributed to the cooperative's campaign against electric pilferers through info-text promo which resulted in the apprehension of power bandits.
The report noted the more than 1,260 kilometers of cleared power lines aside from the 779 rotten poles replacement as among other factors that helped lower the system loss. (PIA/A.Lumaque)
