THE National Grid Corporation of the Philippines has finally energized the Hermosa-San Jose 500-kiloVolt transmission line, an Energy Project of National Significance valued at P10.2 billion and is crucial to the Luzon grid.
Besides the new transmission line from Bulacan to Bataan, the project includes the construction of a new Hermosa 500kV Substation, which will enable better voltage regulation and power transfer from existing 230kV facilities in the area. Senator Sherwin Gatchalian earlier urged the Energy Regulatory Commission to penalize the NGCP for delayed transmission projects that adversely impact the country’s electricity supply.
