History of Bohol I Electric Cooperative ( BOHECO I)

Bohol I Electric Cooperative brought the first streaks of energization into a sleepy province just as the decade of the 70’s was coming into view.

From its infant stages, BOHECO I’s coverage area had been the northern and western towns of the province, eventually expanding to most of the interior towns in the west.

Originally, the co-op was only serving nine (9) municipalities with an initial cash outlay in a form of loan from NEA in the amount of Php21,958,000.00. The loan contract was signed by its first Board President, Mr. Simeon P. Luayon and NEA Administrator Pedro G. Dumol on October 1, 1971.

On December 30, 1974, the co-op was able to energize the backbone lines in Tubigon from the location of its power plant in barangay Maca-as, to Poblacion, Tubigon running a line of approximately 4 kms. In 1975, the rest of the backbone lines of the remaining eight (8) original towns were energized.

Then its neighboring seventeen (17) towns clamored for its inclusion, prompting the co-op officials to avail an additional loan from NEA amounting to Php17M which was signed by Board President Melchor P. Monreal and Administrator Pedro Dumol on January 12, 1980.

The co-op is a residential-based, approximately 56.85% of the total KWHR sold. Commercial and industrial loads are about 32.32%, while the combine irrigation , water system, public buildings and streetlights load is approximately 10.83%.
