Parts of Nueva Ecija may expect a power interruption lasting up to 10 hours on Wednesday, the National Grid Corp. of the Philippines said.

Affected areas include Sta. Rosa, San Leonardo, Penaranda, Gen Tinio, Fort Magsaysay, San Isidro, Gapan, San Antonio, Jaen, and Cabiao in Nueva Ecija.

Also, the NGCP said the power outage schedule is to facilitate annual preventive maintenance of power transformer and its associated equipment at Cabanatuan City substation; replacement of revenue potential transformer at NEECO I-San Isidro’s metering point; and maintenance works along Cabanatuan-San Isidro line 69kV line 1 and 2. — Joel Locsin/LBG, GMA News
