The head of the Negros Oriental 2 Electric Cooperative finance department  was chosen by the board to act as officer-in-charge after  its  general manager, Ephraim Taclob,  retired at the age of 65  Sunday.

Dionefred Macahig said  the priorities of the  cooperative includes the replacement of a busted power transformer in Bayawan City and the upgrading of the sub-stations in Dauin and Dumaguete, which are part of the capital outlay projects worth P85 million.

The old 10 mva power transformer got busted few days after it was installed in Bayawan, as a replacement of the 5mva and the old 5 mva is now being reinstalled.

Macahig also said that the Dauin sub-station was  energized on September 8, two days before the  town fiesta.

As OIC, Macahig is also  recommending as officer-in-charge to take his place as finance manager  Edmund Tia,  the meter reading and billing division chief of the cooperative.

Meanwhile,  a consumer who had been seeking  the opening of the books of accounts of the cooperative,  is applying for the position of general manager of NORECO 2.

Joel Obar said every consumer-member in good standing has the right to become manager, subject to the approval of the board. He also said that  if he is  given the chance, every consumer-member can open the books of the cooperative.*JG
