NGCP commits to fulfill PBBM’s vision for PH energy
REITERATING its commitment to President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.’s 2023 energy initiatives, as expressed in his recent State of the Nation Address (SONA), NGCP vows to focus all its available resources toward the completion of ongoing transmission projects while expediting others in the pipeline.
NGCP will draw on its strategic partnership with the State Grid Corporation of China (SGCC) whose expertise in renewable energy integration will bolster its capabilities to hasten the transition to renewable and sustainable energy sources. The collaboration with SGCC allows NGCP to accommodate the increasing adoption of renewable energy technologies into the national grid.
NGCP also vowed to intensify its ongoing and continuous upgrade of equipment and manpower, especially those that will prevent disruptions, or provide expedient repair, in case of natural disasters. Currently, NGCP has been developing local talent by investing in world-class training and scholarships for aspiring Filipino engineers.
“We agree with the President’s sentiments. Even before the SONA, NGCP has already been working towards the vision that he mentioned,” said Anthony Almeda, NGCP’s president and CEO. “After hearing it straight from him–his vision that is completely aligned with ours–we know we are on the right track and we’re more motivated to complete all our objectives in a prompt manner,” he concluded.
Among the top priorities on NGCP’s agenda are the swift completion of the Mindanao-Visayas Interconnection Project (MVIP) and Stage 3 of the Cebu-Negros-Panay Interconnection Project (CNP). Both crucial projects have been partially energized, with the MVIP on track to be fully energized to 450MW by the third quarter of this year. To expedite these projects, NGCP called upon all Local Government Units to extend essential support by promptly granting relevant permits and providing necessary assistance in addressing right-of-way issues that have hindered the smooth implementation of these projects.(NGCP)
