The new high voltage line, capable of transmitting 8,000 megawatts of power from plants in Bataan and Zambales, is set to enhance the stability and reliability of the region’s power grid.
During the inauguration, NGCP president Anthony Almeda emphasized the importance of this facility as a critical component for ensuring a sustainable power supply.
He expressed gratitude to President Marcos, whose commitment to infrastructure development has driven the completion of several major projects over the past year, including the Mindanao-Visayas interconnection and the Cebu-Negros-Panay 230-kilovolt (kV) interconnection project.
Almeda assured that NGCP will continue its efforts to support national economic growth by enhancing power transmission services.
In his speech, Mr. Marcos highlighted the project's transformative impact, noting its role in strengthening power transmission services across Luzon, including Metro Manila.
The Mariveles-Hermosa-San Jose 500-kV project features 395 transmission towers, 275.6 circuit kilometers of overhead lines, two new substations, and a capacity of 2,000 MegaVolt Amperes, marking a significant milestone in NGCP’s vision for a resilient and efficient power grid.
