Company Profile

On the basis of Probationary Certificate of Franchise issued by the National Electrification Administration on August 6, 1973, the initial step in organizing the NUEVA ECIJA II ELECTRIC COOPERATIVE, INC. ( NEECO II) was set into motion.

         On September 22, 1975, at the College of the Republic, San Jose City, the Cooperative was born with the signing of the Articles of Incorporation by the first elected Board of Directors. 
        The area coverage of NEECO II as per the Probationary Certificate of Franchise was originally comprised of 14 towns, namely Bongabon, Carranglan, Gabaldon, Gen. Natividad, Guimba, Laur, Llanera, Lupao, Munoz, Pantabangan, Rizal, Sto. Domingo, Talavera and Talugtug, while the two (2) cities are San Jose and Palayan. However, with the creation of NEECO III, the area coverage were reduced to ten (10) municipalities namely: Talavera, Lupao, Carranglan, Aliaga, Quezon, Licab, Sto. Domingo, Munoz, Guimba and Talugtug. The towns of Bongabon, Gabaldon, Laur, Gen. Natividad, Llanera, Rizal and Palayan City were turned over to NEECO III. The towns taken over by NEECO II from NEECO I were Aliaga, Quezon and Licab. Pantabangan on the other hand, is being administered by its Municipal Government except for Barangay Conversion which is administered by NEECO II.

         The ten (10) municipalities it covers is composed of 301 barangays. However, under the Accelerated Barangay Energization Program, ten (10) barangays were waived in favor of Tarelco I for them to electrify due to the proximity of the areas to the tapping point which happened to be within the franchise area of said cooperative. All the remaining 291 barangays already energized or 100% accomplished.

         On the basis of Certificate of Franchise dated November 24, 2004, NEECO II acquired the franchise of the NEA Management Team (former NEECO III) covering the City of Palayan and the municipalities of Sta. Rosa, San Leonardo, Peñaranda, Gen.Tinio, Bongabon, Laur, Gabaldon, Llanera, Natividad and Rizal. Hence, two (2) distinct cooperatives was created named NEECO II-AREA 1 and NEECO II-AREA 2 with two (2) different General Managers and separate book of accounts but the same set of Board of Directors.
