Resorts and hotels on Boracay Island will be depending on generator sets for most of the next two months because power supply will be cut off due to an ongoing construction of a power sub-station on the island-resort.
The power interruption started August 8 and is estimated to last from 45 to 60 days until the construction of a 30-mva sub-station of the Aklan Electric Cooperative (Akelco) shall have been completed.
The construction of the 30-mva substation is being undertaken at Sitio Tambisaan in Barangay Manoc-Manoc at the southern end of the 1,000-hectare island.
The project is intended to stabilize the power supply of the island, which has grown significantly because of the tourism boom.
"We have to live with it because it's also for the good of the island once the project is completed. Hopefully it will be completed as scheduled before the peak season starts in October," said Cann.
