LA TRINIDAD, Benguet -- The Benguet Electric Cooperative (Beneco) is looking to energize 21 sitios in Benguet in 2024.
The cooperative is awaiting P50 million pledged by the National Electrification Administration (NEA) this year to enable it to continue its countryside energization thrust under the government’s Sitio Energization Program (SEP).
Beneco has provided the list of sitios targeted for energization to NEA based on the requests of local government units.
Beneco said that sitios from Kabayan, Kibungan, Sablan, and Tuba will likely be the first for the project.
Mark Amisola, an engineer from the Network Services Department, is currently finalizing the list of other sitios in the province for energization that will be sent to NEA for another funding of around P50 million.
