Following the 7.8 magnitude earthquake that hit southern Mindanao earlier today, AboitizPower confirmed it is closely monitoring all facilities to maintain safe, reliable service. Most generation sites operated without issue; Therma South in Davao City had a brief outage but reconnected to the grid by 1:07 PM. Hydropower units experienced a localized line trip but were restored after safety checks. On the distribution side, Cotabato Light fully restored power to all affected areas by 1:14 PM. Davao Light teams inspected infrastructure and had all major lines and substations energized by 2:00 PM. All company personnel are safe, and teams remain on standby to monitor aftershocks and complete further assessments.
The quick recovery underscores the resilience of Mindanao’s power infrastructure, minimizing disruption to households and businesses shortly after a major seismic event.
