DOE vows immediate action to ensure reliable, continuous power supply to Catanduanes

|April 23, 2026
THE Department of Energy (DOE) has assured Catanduanes province that the national government is decisively and immediately moving to restore reliable and continuous supply of electricity across the island.
Energy Secretary Sharon Garin said in a statement on Wednesday (April 22), that the DOE has taken action to prevent any disruption in the diesel-based power generation operations of the Sunwest Water and Electric Co. (Suweco), due to the pressure brought about by rising fuel costs and operational challenges.
Suweco is a power generation firm linked to former lawmaker Zaldy Co.
The DOE chief added they have been closely coordinating with the National Power Corp. (NPC), Philippine National Oil Co. - Exploration Corp. and other concerned agencies, to provide and deliver the fuel necessary to sustain the operations of Suweco’s diesel-fired power plants in the province.
