NGCP readies new $1 M power transmission projects
National Grid Corporation of the Philippines lined up at least 4 power transmission interconnection projects to add to those near completion.
Philippines: National Grid Corporation of the Philippines (NGCP) said that it had lined up at least four power transmission interconnection projects to add to those nearing completion, including the $1 B Mindanao-Visayas Interconnection Project that is scheduled to be finished in December 2020.
“The only way to forward this vision of a fully interconnected and integrated transmission system is to keep investing in the transmission grid. These projects will greatly benefit the country, energizing the entire archipelago even up to the farthest islands,” NGCP said in a statement.
It identified the future projects to include those interconnecting Batangas and Mindoro; Bataan and Cavite; Bataan and Pasay; Palawan and Mindoro; and the Laray-Cordova 230 kV transmission line.
NGCP said several interconnection projects are in the works, including the $942 M stages two and three of the Cebu-Negros-Panay interconnection project, which will have a 230 kV backbone to accommodate the transmission of excess power from Panay and Negros towards the rest of the Visayas.
