With the real-estate and shopping mall boom in the southern part of Davao Light and Power Co.’s franchise, demand for electricity has also increased indicating a need for additional power within the said area.
As answer to this ongoing development and various business activities specifically in Davao City’s downtown and Maa areas, Davao Light inaugurated its new 33MVA Maa Substation in Maa last October 28.
The substation will not only provide additional capacity but will also improve the load distribution of the Davao Light system improving the quality of service to the customers especially in the Maa area.
Present during the inauguration are Barangay Maa officials as represented by Brgy. Kagawad Lope Calotes and Lyndon Banzon together with the project team of Davao Light and executives.
“The inauguration of the 33MVA Maa Substation is another milestone of Davao Light. Through this, existing nearby substations will be relieved of carrying huge load. The Maa substation will then carry additional load growth in the future.” said Arturo Milan, Davao Light’s EVP and COO.
“We are very thankful that Davao Light made our barangay part of this project and this development. We are sure that Davao Light will deliver on its promise of a reliable service and stable power supply to its customers,” said Kagawad Banzon, Brgy. Maa, Davao City.
The Maa substation stretches up to Ecoland Substation and along diversion road up to Monteritz.
