Palm Concepcion Power Corp. said Friday it signed an agreement with National Grid Corporation of the Philippines to connect its 270-megawatt clean coal project in Iloilo.
Palm Concepcion, a unit of A Brown Co. Inc., said in a disclosure that the agreement ensured the dispatch of Palm Concepcion’s generation output to customers through the facilities of system operator National Grid.
The agreement authorizes Palm Concepcion to connect to National Grid’s transmission system, allowing the delivery of the power plant’s output to customers and other buyers.
“The delivery of the Concepcion plant’s generated electricity will be via a 40-kilometer double circuit 138 KV overhead transmission line to National Grid’s Barotac Viejo sub-station. Our output will now be available to customers of the whole of the Visayas Grid via the Negros-Panay and Cebu-Negros submarine cables,” Palm Concepcion president Roel Castro said.
“This confirms NGCP’s commitment to connect the Concepcion plant to the grid,” National Grid chief administrative officer Anthony Almeda said.
Transmission and connection assets are key to the delivery of power from the generation plants to the Visayas grid.
The construction of the transmission and connection facilities should be aligned with the construction schedule of the power plant so that the same will be ready to deliver the power plant’s output to the grid when it start commercial operations on the latter part of 2015.
2015 is seen as a critical period for the Visayas Grid, where an additional capacity of 100 MW will be needed to avert shortages. source
