In a statement, the power grid operator said, this milestone is part of the Mariveles-Hermosa-San Jose 500kV facility, designed to bolster the Luzon grid by integrating an additional 2,200MW from new power plants in Bataan and Zambales.
The project, comprising 395 transmission towers and 275.6 circuit kilometers of lines, faced significant delays due to legal and logistical challenges but is now fully operational.
“NGCP completes this landmark energy project under the leadership and guidance of President Marcos,” the company said. “This marks the full completion and energization at full capacity of this critical facility, strengthening and expanding the grid under NGCP.”
