By Alena Mae S. Flores – November 23, 2022, 6:25 pm from manilastandard.net Transmission operator National Grid Corp. of the Philippines asked the Energy Regulatory Commission to approve six transmission projects with a combined cost of P20 billion. NGCP refiled the projects for approval after withdrawing the previous application, citing several factors that contributed to the increase in project costs and/or change in components of the six projects. "To avoid disruption of operation and to ensure continuous compliance with NGCP's mandate under the EPIRA (Electric Power Industry Reform Act) as the transmission operator, it is imperative that the implementation of the proposed capex projects be immediately approved," NGCP said.
