The Manila Electric Company (Meralco) has ramped up its upgrading and maintenance activities to strengthen and improve the resiliency of its electrical facilities against possible storms that could hit the country as the rainy season begins.
Meralco's dedicated crews have recently executed load-splitting operations and thoroughly inspected its facilities in Hidalgo Street, Pasay City. These actions were part of Meralco's comprehensive plan to boost service quality and reliability in the area.
During the same operation, Meralco also replaced worn-out wires that were causing sparking and rectified low-hanging cables to prevent illegal connections and ensure public safety.
"With the start of the rainy season, Meralco crews remain hard at work 24/7 to further strengthen our distribution system's resiliency against possible severe weather disturbances and to actively contribute to the promotion of public safety," Meralco First Vice President and Head of Networks Froilan J. Savet said.
Beyond conducting routine maintenance, Meralco actively invests in upgrading its distribution facilities to continuously improve the reliability and quality of the electricity service it delivers to its 7.8 million customers.
