MANILA, Philippines — The National Grid Corp. of the Philippines (NGCP) is working on major interconnection projects worth over P130 billion. NGCP said the interconnection projects are aimed at building an integrated grid to be called One Grid Philippines. NGCP is also in the pre-construction stage for the P2.4 billion Panay-Guimaras 138-kV transmission line. NGCP said other future interconnection projects include the Batangas-Mindoro interconnection project, Laray-Cordova 230-kV transmission line project, Bataan-Cavite interconnection project, Bataan-Pasay interconnection project, and the Palawan-Mindoro interconnection project“The only way to forward this vision of a fully interconnected and integrated transmission system is to keep investing in the transmission grid. This will also prepare the entire Philippine grid for the integration to the proposed ASEAN Power Grid, promoting power sharing and optimization of generation capacity within the region,” NGCP said.
