Transmission line for Cebu province completed by 2014

Line will cope with province’s surging power demand.

The National Grid Corporation of the Philippines (NGCP) expects to finish construction of its US$42 million Cebu transmission network by the end of 2014. The network will connect two substations in Cebu province in the Visayas region.

NGCP is a privately-owned firm in charge of operating, maintaining, and developing the Philippines’ power grid.

NGCP began construction of the 138 kilovolt Cebu to Colon and Calung to Calung transmission line in 2012 to cope with Cebu’s rapid development and its growing power demands.

NGCP said the connectivity of Colon to Calung to Calung is essential to increase the transfer capability of the grid for Cebu Energy Development Corporation Coal-Fired Power Plant in Toledo, Cebu.

With a total capacity of 246 MW, the CEDC plant is connected to the grid through NGCP’s Colon Substation.

The project includes the construction of a 28 kilometer transmission line and installation of additional power circuit breakers and corresponding accessories at the mentioned substations.
