The country will soon have one transmission line once the Mindanao-Visayas Interconnection Project begins full operations in July, enabling power sharing across the Philippines’ three main islands. | MegINQ /PDI
Once fully operational, the project will allow power sharing of 450 MW of initial capacity between the two islands to avoid supply shortage. Any excess power from MVIP will then be transmitted to Luzon, thus creating one connected grid for the entire country.Guevara said the P52-billion MVIP would likely operate at half capacity, or 225 MW, by June before full operations start the following month.
The Mindanao and Visayas grids are being linked through 184 circuit-kilometers of submarine cables and 422 ckm of overhead wires. The design ensures minimal loss and the transmission of sufficient power to areas with supply deficit.The Energy Regulatory Commission gave its go signal for the MVIP in 2017. Construction of submarine cables began in 2018 in preparation for a December 2020 target completion date.
