Benguet Electric Cooperative

Article by: Choy Vallejo

On October 5, 1973, the Benguet Electric Cooperative, Inc. (BENECO), was
organized and registered as a non-stock, non-profit service-oriented entity and was
granted by the National Electrification Commission the sole franchise to operate an
electric light and power service in the City of Baguio and Benguet province for a
period of fifty (50) years.
At the birth of BENECO, only the central portion of the city was being supplied
with electricity by the Asin Mini-Hydro Electric Plants built by the Americans before
World War II while the small portion of the peripheries of the city was supplied by
NPC Feeder from Beckel, La Trinidad substation. The poblacion of La Trinidad,
Benguet was lighted by the Benguet Development Corporation and the small
portion of Itogon and Tuba were being supplied with power by the Rural Power
Corporation. These electric systems were taken over by BENECO in January 1974 by
virtue of the provisions of P.D. No. 269.
