The National Electrification Administration (NEA) will look into the power supply contracts of Aklan Electric Cooperative (Akelco) amid the expected drop in power demand due to the impending closure of Boracay Island on April 26, 2018. In an interview on the sidelights of the inauguration of the Global Business Power (GBP) Institute for Energy (GIE) on Tuesday, NEA Deputy Administrator Engr. Nikki Tortola said they would be evaluating what part of the power contract could be used in case problems arise once the island is shut down.
