The National Grid Corporation of the Philippines said over the weekend that vital transmission facilities between Negros and Cebu have been fully restored, increasing the reliability of power transmission services between the two islands.
The grid operator, in an advisory, reported the energization of the Amlan-Samboan 138kV Transmission Line 1 was done last October 2 at 4 p.m. The Amlan-Samboan 138kV Transmission is vital to the exchange of power within the Visayas grid, and gives Negros and Panay consumers access to power coming from Luzon and other islands within the region. Its energization will ensure the full dispatch of Visayas grid-connected power plants, including renewable energy sources in Negros, said NGCP.
It can be recalled that the transmission line was damaged during DPWH dredging and re-channeling activities in Amlan, Negros Oriental on June 15, 2021. The capacity of NGCP’s underwater cable to transmit power between Negros and Cebu was halved, from 180 MW to only 90 MW, limiting the flow of power between islands.
NGCP is a Filipino-led, privately owned company in charge of operating, maintaining, and developing the country’s power grid, led by majority shareholders and Vice Chairman of the Board Henry Sy Jr. and Co-Vice Chairman Robert Coyiuto Jr. It is the sole operating asset of Synergy Grid and Development Philippines Inc.
