First Renewable Energy in Davao Oriental


THE Davao Oriental Electric Cooperative, Inc. (DORECO) and the LGS Renewable Energies, Corp. (LGS) signed on May 21, 2024, a Power Supply Agreement (PSA) for the sale of electricity from the LGS 1- megawatt (MW) Osmena Hydroelectric Power Plant located in Barangay Sergio Osmena, Gov. Generoso, Davao Oriental.

The project will harness the water resources of the Dumagook River through a run-of-river electrical system, and is envisioned to improve the voltage quality in the municipality of Gov. Generoso and nearby areas.

It is the first renewable energy project to be embedded in the DORECO’s distribution system. The PSA was signed by DORECO president Emma Concepcion C. Visto and LGS president Jose Simeon S. Gonzalez with DORECO GM Ferdinand P. Hernaez and LGS AVP Earle D. Ferrer, Jr. as witnesses.

In an earlier report, Board of Director Titto dela Vega representing District II (San Isidro and Governor Generoso) said that this project will surely help the people in the Municipality of Governor Generoso with their electricity challenges.

The report also sai that LGS Renewable Energies President Jose Simeon S. Gonzales highlighted that the essence of partnership with DORECO is not merely as a supplier or power distributor but as partners in providing cleaner and reliable power supply for the people in Davao Oriental as he further expressed that great things and potentials are coming in the province.

DORECO is grateful for this new milestone even as it said that as a cohesive team, it will work, support and encourage one another for the welfare of their valued member-consumer-owners. (PR)
