Manila Communication Base Station Inverter Grid-connected New Infrastructure Project

In Mindanao, power is generated from renewable and conventional plants in Lanao, Misamis Oriental and Davao. A 230 kV backbone enables power transfer between northern and southern Mindanao. In 2024, the NGCP strengthened the grid with the full energisation of three EPNS projects – MVIP, CNP3 and the Hermosa-San Jose (HSJ) transmission line.

The company ensures that its services are available when and where it is needed. Composed of Metro Manila, North Luzon, and South Luzon, the largest grid in the country accounts for 74% of the country's total power demand. The interconnected island grids of Cebu, Negros, Panay, Leyte, Samar, and Bohol compose the Visayas grid.

The NGCP has envisaged an investment of about PhP 905 billion in the Philippines' high voltage grid between 2024 and 2034. These projects are presently in the consultation stage. Of this, about 59 per cent will be spent on developing transmission lines and 41 per cent on developing substations.

To meet the forecasted load growth in Metro Manila, three (3) major 500/230kV drawdown substations will be developed around Metro Manila. These will be in Taguig City; Marilao, Bulacan; and Silang, Cavite. These are to be complemented by the development of additional 230/115kV substations in Antipolo, Navotas, and Pasay.

It includes an 82.4 km, 500 kV HSJ line and the 500 kV Hermosa substation, which enables better voltage regulation and power transfer from existing 230 kV facilities in the area. Fully energised by the NGCP in June 2024, this PhP 16.5 billion initiative significantly boosts the reliability of the Luzon grid. Future plans Consumption

The nearest connection point in the Luzon Grid for the planned island interconnection project is the proposed Pinamucan 500kV Substation in Batangas, while Calapan would serve as the interconnection point in Mindoro.
