94 families in remote Davao Occidental town benefit from electrification project

Posted on July 31, 2015

DIGOS CITY, July 31 (PNA) — At least 94 families living in five sitios in Barangay Dalupan in Don Marcelino, Davao Occidental, recently benefited from an electrification project in the area.

The newly-constructed Dalupan Micro-Hydro Power Plant is now in full operation and will be serving residents living in Sitio Cunalom, Banag, Upper Kiaga and Miago in Centro Dalupan.

The 25-kilowatt Micro-Hydro Power Plant is a pilot project under the policy and advisory of the Asian Development Bank (ADB) but is engaged to Lahmeyer – a consulting firm, for implementation.

The creation of the project is seen to bring development of livelihood through renewable energy, with the support of the National Electrification Administration (NEA) which is the executing agency, the Local Government Unit of Don Marcelino, and the Davao del Sur Electric Cooperation (DASURECO), which is the collection firm.

Present during the inauguration ceremony of the power plant on Wednesday were top executives from the Asian Development Bank; NEA Deputy Administrator Edgardo Piamonte; Lahmeyer; Asian Clean Energy Fund of Japan, which financed the project.

Also present were DASURECO general manager Engr. Godofredo N. Guya, Board of Directors Wilfredo Granada of Bansalan, Mateo Cabante of Malalag, and Shiela Culina-Nugas of Malita/Don Marcelino/Jose Abad Santos and Mayor John Johnson of Don Marcelino. (PNA)
