SUKELCO Sitio Electrification Program Isulan Turned Over to 200 Beneficiaries
The SUKELCO Electrification Program in Isulan has reached a significant milestone with the turnover ceremony for its Sitio Electrification Program, covering 200 beneficiaries across five barangays. The announcement was made by Mayor Bai Rihan Mangudadatu Sakaluran through her official social media channels.
The turnover ceremony covered 200 beneficiaries from Barangays Dansuli, Sampao, Kenram, Kolambog, and Bual. The program is implemented by the Sultan Kudarat Electric Cooperative (SUKELCO) , the province’s electric cooperative, under the Sitio Electrification Program (SEP) of the National Electrification Administration (NEA) .
According to the NEA, the Sitio Electrification Program aims to provide electricity to remote, unlit small communities, locally known as “sitios,” as part of the national government’s ongoing efforts to achieve total electrification, particularly in far-flung and geographically isolated areas. SUKELCO has been actively implementing the program, with previous energization projects benefiting communities across Sultan Kudarat.
Five Barangays Benefit from Sitio Electrification
The 200 beneficiaries of the SUKELCO Sitio Electrification Program are from the following barangays in Isulan:
- Barangay Dansuli
- Barangay Sampao
- Barangay Kenram
- Barangay Kolambog
- Barangay Bual
The program is part of SUKELCO’s ongoing efforts to expand electricity coverage in Sultan Kudarat. SUKELCO has also implemented Sitio Electrification Program activities elsewhere in the province, including an energization involving 114 beneficiaries in seven sitios in Esperanza in February 2026.
SUKELCO’s Role in Expanding Electricity Access
SUKELCO – the Sultan Kudarat Electric Cooperative, Inc. – was organized pursuant to Presidential Decree No. 269, as amended, to implement the government’s national policy of total electrification of the country on an area coverage basis. The cooperative has been actively working to expand electricity access to underserved areas through various programs, including the Sitio Electrification Program (SEP) and the Barangay Line Enhancement Program (BLEP).
The National Electrification Administration (NEA) , a government-owned and -controlled corporation, is tasked with implementing the rural electrification program and bringing electricity to missionary or economically unviable areas via electric cooperatives.
