Yung wind power pinag-aaralan nila, baka puwede din dito para hindi na unaasa ang Mindoro sa ibang lugar para sa kanilang kuryente,” he said.The government is also eyeing to plug into submarine cables to stabilize Mindoro’s power supply, the President said.“‘Yung mga inaasahan namin ay mga submarine cable kasi may mga area na malapit naman dito na may surplus, so puwede tayong kumuha doon pero ginagawa palang yung mga submarine cable,” he said.Last year, Occidental Mindoro — a neighboring province — declared a state of power crisis as several power outages marred the quality of life in the 2 MIMAROPA provinces.

The government is also eyeing to plug into submarine cables to stabilize Mindoro’s power supply, the President said.
