Powering Valenzuela City’s increased COVID-19 response

Sustaining continued support to the government and private sector’s fight against COVID-19, Meralco energizes the new DPWH-sponsored Quarantine Facility housed at ArkongBato National High School in Valenzuela City. Twelve container vans were repurposed and converted into 44 air-conditioned rooms, two (2) nurses’ stations, one (1) radiology room, and one (1) x-ray room for this facility. Each of the 44 rooms has a hospital bed, a table, a chair, and a private comfort room. Meralco’s energization project augmented this development with the installation of a new metering facility, one (1) concrete pole, and two (2) 75-kVA Distribution transformers. The ArkongBato Quarantine Facility is one of the many vital hospitals and COVID-19 treatment and isolation centers in the Meralco franchise area that are given the highest priority in terms of delivery of safe, adequate, and reliable supply of electricity.
