Power law amendments sought amid Panay blackout

A LAWMAKER wants amendments to the Philippine Grid Code and the Electric Power Industry Reform Act (Epira) to prevent a repeat of the blackout that struck the island of Panay and neighboring provinces on January 2 to 5.

Association of Philippine Electric Cooperatives (APEC) party-list Rep. Sergio Dagooc said that among the changes must be the separation of the grid system operator and transmission system operator.
