How does Meralco restore power?

We have a structured approach in restoring power. Depending on their extent or severity, outages are monitored and managed either by our System Control team or Sector Operations team, with the help of our Automated Distribution Management System, or ADMS. As soon as outages are detected, we dispatch crews to investigate the cause. Crews arriving on-site will assess the damage and necessary repair, then have the power restored.

 

How accurate is the Estimated Time of Restoration (ETR) that Meralco provides? Our crews provide initial estimates based on their visual inspection. Our Automated Distribution Management System, or ADMS, takes that information and combines it with historical data to formulate a more accurate ETR. Estimates may change from time to time during the restoration process depending on the number of work orders assigned to crews. Nevertheless, we exert all effort to ensure that power is restored on or before the given ETR.

How do I track the status of my report?

You can track the status of your report by logging in to Meralco Online or Meralco Mobile and going to the Outages and Incidents section. Your report will be displayed in a table or list, and the status that appears reflects the most recent update available for your report.
For a step-by-step guide, please refer to the instructions below.

 

  1. Via Meralco Online
    1. Log in to Meralco Online.
    2. Click on “Outages and Incidents”.
    3. Select “Summary of Reports”.
