FULL repairs to a key power plant supplying electricity to the province of Iloilo will take up to next year, a subsidiary of listed real estate developer A Brown Co. said.

A two-phase repair of Palm Concepcion Power Corp.'s 135-megawatt power plant in Concepcion, Iloilo, whose unscheduled outages have been tagged as responsible for blackouts in Panay earlier this year, began earlier this month.PCPC on Sunday said that the repair, which started on June 4, was being done through United Kingdom-based Quartzelec Ltd.

The blackouts in Panay led to a Senate investigation where PCPC officials said that they were unable to perform periodic maintenance on the plant due to the lack of spare parts.National Grid Corp. of the Philippines said that unscheduled outages of other power plants on the island, along with scheduled maintenance work on others, were behind the loss of electricity across Panay.
