Advisory:         POWER ADVISORY

The Aklan Electric Cooperative (AKELCO) regarding the power interruptions in the island for the next 2 months.

The AKELCO will be undertaking the rehabilitation of double and triple circuit lines in the areas of  Boracay Island and Sitio Tabon, Caticlan Malay Aklan Province.  There will also be the energization of a 30 MVA sub-station located at Sito Tambisaan Barangay Manoc-Manoc Boracay.  Due to this there will be a series of scheduled power interruptions in the said areas from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily excluding Sundays for a 60 - day duration. These are all being undertaken to address the increasing electrical power requirements of the island - both by the private enterprises and its residents.

Most resorts in Boracay have there own generators which are used as a back-up to provide continuity to there electrical requirements.  We make sure that our guests will be able to experience the resort in its full operating capacity.  Resort guests will be able to go about their leisure holiday with as little power interruption as possible.  Immediate concerns during your stay at the Resort can be discussed with our Front office Hosts or directly to our Resident Manager, who will be more than glad to assist you.


For your information and guidance.
