Davao Light and Power Company

Davao Light’s franchise area covers Davao City, areas of Panabo City, and the municipalities of Carmen, Dujali, and Santo Tomas in Davao del Norte, with a population of approximately 2.2 million and a total area of 3,561 square kilometers.

As of April 2024, Davao Light served a total of 487,041 customers with a recorded peak demand of 536MW.

The growth in demand resulted in total sales of 944,886 MWh as of April 2024. Davao Light recorded a total growth in energy sales of 6.63% and an increase in demand of 12.84%.

Davao Light’s distribution systems loss at 5.45% remains below the government-mandated cap of 5.50%. Systems loss below the mandated caps translates to reduced power costs, resulting in customer savings.
