The vision and purpose behind the Joint Venture Agreement (JVA) are far-reaching. At its core, the JVA aspires to relieve CENECO’s financial commitments while elevating its services to consumers. The blueprint for this venture outlines plans to upgrade and modernize existing facilities, thereby enhancing the reliability of power services. It is designed to minimize unexpected power interruptions, guaranteeing swift responses to consumer concerns related to power lines. Additionally, the agreement aims to simplify and expedite the electricity connection process, further reducing system loss and ultimately working towards lowering the cost of electricity for consumers.
The success of the comprehensive Information, Education, and Communication campaign over the past three months can be attributed to the resonating understanding among the stakeholders about the myriad benefits that this collaboration between CENECO and Primelectric/Negros Power holds. The campaign fostered a well-informed electorate, aligning them with the potential of this partnership.
Inking their commitment on June 3, 2023, CENECO and Primelectric have charted a course towards progress. The JVA’s journey through approval was steered by a series of weekly plebiscites from June 23 to September 3. This step towards the future is a testament to the shared goal of propelling the community towards a brighter energy landscape.
