Philippines, Manila: The Manila Electric Company (Meralco) has commissioned the new Balagtas 115 kV-34.5 kV substation located along McArthur Highway in Bulacan.
The substation is set to improve the distribution system and power quality in the area. The project involved the construction of a 115 kV switchyard, installation of an 83 MVA transformer bank, construction of a new 8 km 115 kV line and 3 new 34.5 kV distribution feeders.
The Balagtas Substation will address the critical loading of Sta. Maria and Saog substations, improve the reliability and flexibility of Meralco’s distribution system, and provide additional capacity to accommodate the increasing load demand in Balagtas and other adjacent areas. The new substation should also help in the immediate restoration of electricity service in the areas of Balagtas, Sta. Maria, Bocaue, and Marilao in Bulacan during power outages.
