Survey consequences determined the maximum feasible path starting in Cebu in the Visayas and terminating in Dipolog City in Zamboanga del Norte in Mindanao.
Subsequent preparations have been made to include the conceptual design, particular price estimate and replace of the system simulation examine using the Cebu-Dipolog direction inside the ERC software, at the same time as inland and course surveys for sub-stations and overhead transmission lines had been simultaneously being performed.
“NGCP submitted to the ERC its application for the implementation of the VMIP. This comes after years of research and careful making plans. Finding the most secure and maximum feasible course for the task turned into an extended and tedious process, given the various challenges that confronted us, like unexploded ordinances, fault traces and submarine volcanic pastime. We needed to be cautious and sure, as that is going to be the largest challenge inside the records of the Philippine energy enterprise,” NGCP stated.
The grid operator delivered, “And we are excited to start. As quickly as ERC grants us the provisional authority, NGCP will without delay placed into motion plans to be able to result in the eventual unification of the u . S . A .’s three main grids. Barring any delays, we hope to get this finished by means of 2020.”
The 2020 target date is based totally on a compressed agenda, and assumes no delays, it said.
The NGCP hopes to acquire the ERC approval inside six months or in advance.
Earlier research at the challenge, which targeted at the eastern route from Leyte to Surigao, found out numerous barriers including live ordinance (torpedoes and excessive explosive shells) from the Battle of Surigao in 1944, an underwater volcano, fault traces and seismic dangers which includes risky rock slabs.
Results of preceding feasibility studies earlier than the grid operator took over transmission operations prompted it to search for alternative routes.
“NGCP is aware that this is a enormous, an luxurious challenge that now not all can entire, or even start, on their personal. After years of handiest feasibility studies to preserve the project alive, NGCP, with its able team of technical experts and a wide pool of resources, is taking that needed next step. What the others can't do, we are doing now,” the agency stated.
It is looking for the assist of the general public and its stakeholders, particularly communities so as to be traversed via the assignment.
“NGCP underscores the value and potential effect of this challenge, no longer handiest to Mindanao, however to the country’s power balance. We want this completed on time, making sure that fine of energy transmission traces, centers and services is not compromised. NGCP wishes the total guide of the authorities, ERC, DoE, DENR and the specific local authorities gadgets to make sure its well timed and fine implementation,” NGCP said.
DoE is the Department of Energy and DENR, the Department of Environment and Natural Resources.
State-run National Transmission Corp. (TransCo) earlier stated the authorities is considering the choice of building the Visayas-Mindanao grid interconnection assignment, in place of letting NGCP convey it out, in line with TransCo president and chief executive officer Melvin Matibag.
The assignment is a part of the concession agreement of the NGCP but TransCo remains the owner of transmission property.
“It is good that they [NGCP] are adjusting the target to 2020 [to finish the interconnection], however I want to look for a manner that the price of the connection should now not be exceeded on to clients,” Matibag said.
He explained that below the concession agreement with NGCP, there's a provision that states that improvement and improvement of the transmission grid is one-of-a-kind to the concessionaire.
“I need to outline distinct, the cause being that I want to discover if the government can… do the connection
due to the fact reputedly, the ballpark discern is round P52 billion, so to be able to be an additional price to the consumers.
Because while the time comes, when the concession is finished and the P52 billion cost isn't always yet paid, the customers will shoulder the load,” Matibbag stated.
The TransCo president introduced that they're making a few representations in Congress if the fee of the undertaking can be blanketed within the General Appropriations Act.
TransCo turned into created beneath Republic Act 9136 or the Electric Power Industry Reform Act.
