Electric Cooperative crews work arm in arm around
the clock to repair severely damaged poles and
fast-track power restoration efforts in Catanduanes,
one of the provinces most severely affected by the impact of super typhoon Rolly.

The Manila Electric Co. (Meralco) sent a team of line crews and equipment to assist repairing power infrastructures damaged by super typhoon Rolly and expedite the restoration in the province of Catanduanes.

A 48-man contingent composed of Meralco linemen and engineers and One Meralco Foundation (OMF) volunteers were enlisted to be part of the Power Restoration Rapid Deployment (PRRD)-Task Force 2020, which closely coordinates with the Department of Energy (DOE), National Electrification Administration (NEA), Philippine Rural Electric Cooperatives Association Inc. (Philreca), and the Electric Cooperatives in Catanduanes.
