Connecting both producers and consumers, the country’s power transmission network serves as the backbone of the electric power industry. It is a complex network of transmission lines, substations, transformers, and related facilities that delivers electricity from the power generators to commercial, industrial, and residential consumers.
The Philippine power grid is critical for properly carrying out the day-to-day functions of our economy. Without an efficient system of delivering electricity from the power generators to the distribution utilities and electric cooperatives, end-consumers of electricity will not be able to have high-quality, reliable, secure, and affordable supply of electric power, as purposefully envisioned in the EPIRA.
Another issue has to do with ancillary services for energy security. This is the capacity required of the system to maintain the power quality, reliability, and security of the grid. The Department of Energy has advised NGCP to acquire this reserve capacity to supplement baseload power supply and prevent yellow and red grid alerts translating to power outages.
