Spaghetti lines are among the culprits of fire incidents in Brgy. Sooc, Arevalo

In order to ensure the safety of consumers and motorists, MORE Power began the relocation of power meters to EMC or Elevated Metering Center along Projects 2, 6, and 7 of Brgy. Sooc, Arevalo. This is in preparation for the rehabilitation of distribution lines and posts in the said location.

Also, spaghetti wires – which prove to be not only unsightly but also unsafe – are being fixed and re-arranged by MORE Power linemen. Unruly power lines and disorganized power meters according to consumers, are the primary cause of fire incidents in their community.

As of now, there are 8 EMC frames that had been installed in the said area. 348 disorderly installed power meters or houses and rotten poles are set to be relocated as well.

MORE Power also installed an extra 50-k VA transformer in Brgy. Sooc, Arevalo. This is done not only to stabilize the power supply in said barangay but also to avoid overloading and experiencing low voltage.

These newly installed EMCs, because of its organized positioning, discourages power pilferage or jumpers. Power meters, which were once disheveled, have been placed neatly on the EMC frame.

“We are here to address the concerns of the community in this area specifically spaghetti wires of those electric cables which are hanging loosely. We also put up additional transformers, 5 transformers, and EMC frames.”, said Engr. Mark Oliver Barreda of MORE Power.
