The National Grid Corporation of the Philippines (NGCP) assures the completion of more transmission projects following the Mindanao-Visayas Interconnection (MVIP) project. NGCP President Anthony Almeda states that several big-ticket projects will be completed in the next months and years, leading to a modernized transmission system. The MVIP includes a high-voltage direct current (HVDC) submarine transmission line connecting Mindanao and Visayas, converter stations, and overhead lines.
The National Grid Corporation of the Philippines ( NGCP ) assured the completion of more transmission projects very soon following last week’s full energization of the P51.3-billion Mindanao-Visayas Interconnection ( MVIP ) project. “We are not done yet. After the MVIP , several big-ticket projects will see completion in the next months, in the next years, and within the 10-year horizon transmission plan.
We are at the precipice of a modernized, world-class transmission system,” said NGCP President Anthony Almeda. The MVIP is comprised of a 184 circuit-kilometer (ckm) high-voltage direct current (HVDC) submarine transmission line connecting the power grids of Mindanao and Visayas with a transfer capacity of 450 megawatts (MW) expandable to as much as 900MW. The project also includes converter stations in both regions and more than 500ckm of overhead lines to facilitate the flow of electricity. NGCP conducted a simultaneous ceremonial switch-on in Manila, Cebu and Lanao del Norte to mark the successful full energization of the MVI
