Consumer groups expressed contrasting views on the proposal to return to government control the Luzon grid, currently managed by National Grid Corp. of the Philippines (NGCP). We've tried with Napocor (National Power Corp.) as the monopoly before, it resulted in trillions in debt which we are still paying up to now. Laban Konsyumer Inc. (LKI) said the ultimate goal was better power supply regardless of who is in charge of the Luzon grid. Dimagiba said LKI's concern was for the government to provide consumers with a stable power supply at the least cost. The inadequate power generation resulted in rotating power interruption in some parts of Luzon.
