The NEPC and Ceneco presented before the NEA board the implications of their agreement.

“This venture seeks to magnify the electric industry in Central Negros by not just streamlining the internal and external operations of concerned parties but also rehabilitating and modernizing the distribution system, which is deemed crucial in providing quality service to our consumers,” NEPC President Roel Castro said.
