THE National Grid Corporation of the Philippines has started work on the development of the Nabas-Caticlan-Boracay 138 kilovolt line, which will cater to the growing demand for Boracay and Caticlan.
“The existing 69 kV submarine cable and overhead line serving the island is no longer adequate to support load growth in the coming years. Under the project, NGCP will reinforce the grid with an additional submarine cable and upgrading the existing 69kV facilities to 138kV,” said NGCP. The entire project is comprised of several components, particularly: underground and submarine cables connecting the mainland to Boracay Island, overhead transmission lines, a cable terminal station, a new Boracay Substation, and an upgraded Nabas Substation.
With an ERC-approved cost of P5.48 Billion, the project was certified as an “Energy Project of National Significance” by the Department of Energy in 2019. Without any transmission reinforcements, developments in Boracay and Caticlan cannot be accommodated. The projected demand for Boracay and Caticlan is 102 megawatts by 2030 and 175MW by 2040.
“The Nabas-Caticlan-Boracay transmission line project will support the increasing power requirements of the island and ensure stable and reliable transmission of power,” the NGCP said. “[We] will support the island’s growth and help ensure the development of Boracay as one of the world’s best travel destinations by providing the necessary energy infrastructure.”
