PRESIDENT Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. has approved the proposed interisland connection of Palawan and Mindoro Islands to expand the national grid.
The National Grid Corporation of the Philippines had proposed the interconnection project with the use of submarine cables to improve the power supply in Palawan by connecting it to the main Luzon power grid. During the power sector meeting, Marcos also called for the use of renewable energy in 125 stand-alone islands served by small power utilities groups.
