NGCP’s transmission line projects in Bataan

National Grid Corporation of the Philippines (NGCP) has updated the public of its transmission line construction projects in Bataan.
Statement from NGCP relayed to newsmen by Regional Corporate Communication Officer Fely Francisco said the construction of the Mariveles-Hermosa 500kV Transmission Line Project will serve as a new transmission corridor to accommodate around 2,836MW from power plants such as the GN Power Dinginin Coal Fired Power Plant, SMC Consolidated Power Coal Fired Power Plant, and the KEPCO-HHIC Coal Fired Power Plant Project.

The project also entails the construction of a new Mariveles Substation, along with the transmission line.
The other projects of NGCP in Bataan are the Hermosa-San Jose 500kV Transmission Line Project and the Hermosa-Floridablanca 69kV Transmission Line Project.
NGCP said the Hermosa-San Jose Transmission Line Project is being constructed as a new transmission corridor, which will cater to existing power plants in Bataan such as the Limay Coal Fired Power Plant, Subic Enron Diesel Power Plant, and generation capacity additions like the RP Energy Coal Fired Power Plant and San Miguel Corporation Coal Fired Power Plant.
The Hermosa-Floridablanca Transmission Line was constructed to support the old Hermosa-Guagua 69kV line and to address the low voltage concerns in the area.
