Meanwhile, the normalization or return of loads to their normal setup will be conducted for 30 minutes at any time between 1:00 a.m. and 3:00 a.m. on the following Wednesday, July 8.

Davao Light apologizes for the inconvenience caused by these scheduled power interruptions. But it will exert all efforts to restore electric service as scheduled or earlier. However, there may be instances where restoration may extend beyond the schedule due to unavoidable circumstances.
